scope and load advice

[lockman]

I am shooting a DPMS LR308. I am consistently shooting .5" at a 100yds. with 168SMK with 43.1grs. of W748 at 2496fps. I was going to send my scope off to Leupold and get M1 turrets for that load. Want to get others opinions before i do. thanks

Don't waste your money on turrets that are going off theory for come-ups. It's no substitution for real world testing - once you know what your real come-ups are then you're good to go. Spend that cash on primers, powder and bullets.

for loads take a hard look at the 155, and 175mk. they fly alot better than the 168, and will increase usuable range and energy.

Work on your LOAD until you've got bullets going through the same hole. You're not too far away.

The difference between being in tune and out of tune is only 6/10ths [.6] of a grain of powder. When I'm getting real close, I'm loading to .1 grain differences.

Fine tune further, with seating depth and neck tension if using bushings.

I've never improved groups with a turret change.
