CA Mesa FFT

[COhunter]

So my son won a Christensen Arms Mesa FFT at a local fundraiser and i was curious if anyone has one, shot one, has a buddy with one, etc. Supposed to be good rifles but i'm not familiar with them. Any good starting points for loads? Forgot to mention, it is chambered in .308. Thanks in advance

Christensen arms makes great quality rifles. Accurate too.

Depends what you want to use the rifle for will depend on the 308win loads we'll be recommending.

Target shooting out to 300 yards ??? hard to beat 168 smk with 43.5 gr Varget and any commercial brass.
Reduce by 1 or 1.5 gr if using 7.62x51 milspec Nato brass. If the Headstamp doesn't say 308win, then it's 7.62 Nato milspec brass.

For hunting any BTSP will work.

Best Powsers for the 308win are..
