Good choice!Well unless there is a reason NOT to use the terminal ascent, I think I found my load.
Hersey I tell you…..I love it.
Wonder what Lamb and Hathcock were shooting in the land of eternal green that was old school then but still works now. Weren’t no Barnes around then SEMPER FI - 0351-0352-8411Hersey I tell you…..
173 Lake City match. And I believe Jim Land said the Model 70 that Hathcock used was not MOA. But apparently Hathcock was able to consistently shoot up to the rifle’s capability in field situations.Wonder what Lamb and Hathcock were shooting in the land of eternal green that was old school then but still works now.

Seems to show a point the heavier the bullet the more accuracy you can squeeze out of it and the MOA is dependent on the skills of the shooter in correlation to the ability of the rifle,I do know the 175gr sierras loaded to mil,specs related to long range ball using exact lake city load data, for the mod 700 XCR in .308 is extremely accurate out to 600 yds. And this is basically a stock rifle topped with TRACT glass, That is as far as I can now shoot. So guess the issue here is for the original poster to try a variety of ammunition in his specific rifle the information passed along here should be used as a starting point. One also needs to see the difference between a hunting bullet for animals and one designed lets say for targets.173 Lake City match.

If you are consistently in the kill zone at 600 with a stock rifle from field positions (way different than a built rifle from bench/bipod) that’s deadly on another level.…….mod 700 XCR in .308 is extremely accurate out to 600 yds.

Nothing better than factory ammo that hammers. Before next year try the factory loaded Norma Bondstrike too as I have had very good experiences with it. It’s also very economical.That’s the factory load from Federal.
