Hit Cameo again today with my 20”. Changed that loud (and excellent) muzzle brake out for a Griffin linear brake. Much less blast and a bit more recoil, still very manageable and easily spotted my hits on steel. Far less recoil than my old large frame 308 dpms.
Also tested 5 of my reloads, 165 gr HPBT over a low charge of TAC. All 5 went into 1.5” off bags. The PMC Factory 147 ball did an 2.5”. I think mine is a shooter for a cheap semi.
Im keeping the huge Leo on for now, but I’ll end up with a lighter low power variable.

I ordered a 16" 308 SFAR from my LGS, it will be here next week. The anticipation is killing me.

16" SFAR, factory Hornady 168. Not a hand picked group, the only 10 shot group I shot today. Below is my 5 shot confirm group.
