Pls ignore anyone suggesting the 168SMK for long range work. That is a 600 yard bullet, and these days not a very good one at that.
My buddy got s great deal in a 10twist 308 barrel 30" long with a match chamber, but the freebore is only .098. I don't know squat about 308 win but he's asking me to help him load for it.
Is there an inexpensive bullet that might stay supersonic to 1000yd from the 308 win or a standout best cheaper bullet.
He wants to tag along to an f class match and the e targets don't pick up sub sonic shots.
Hes not gonna win but would like to have his fun
Thanks Shawn.
Try the Berger 155.5 for light wind and the 185 Juggs for windy days. Both work well with IMR 4064 or Varget.My buddy got s great deal in a 10twist 308 barrel 30" long with a match chamber, but the freebore is only .098. I don't know squat about 308 win but he's asking me to help him load for it.

I have had good luck with the Berger 200-20X. 0.098 freebord. Tommy Mc..Varget was used..My buddy got s great deal in a 10twist 308 barrel 30" long with a match chamber, but the freebore is only .098. I don't know squat about 308 win but he's asking me to help him load for it.

Tommy McDonnell Not At a match. 1000 yard range at the ranch.we use IBS targets buy them in 50 target lot. Did not mean to miss lead you. Tommy McBig McMillan, when you say good luck, was this out to 1000 yards? If so, in a f class match?
If it works, I wouldnt change. If you want more BC i would look to get setup (twist and freebore) for the 195-200gr options.What does everyone think of Berger 185 Juggernaut vs 185 Hybrid. I'm currently shooting 185 Juggernaut but I'm almost out was thinking of trying the 185 Hybrid this time around. Factory Remington 700 5r barrel.

Designed for use on 300 meter targets, on 600 you might get them to work well or you might not. Beyond that they're a waste of time, barrel life and money despite what one or two folks who suggest them for 1,000 yards will tell you.
Don't forget the lowly 155SMK either, or Nosler's equivalent. 2155 or newer 2156 by number, or any 155's from Berger. John Whidden just won another Long Range Championship at Atterbury partly using a 1:10 308 for the Palma Match. 155's work fine out to 1,000 yards.
