Thread: Factory 308 "match" ammo

Bit of a call out to the NRA boys really . . . . What is a reasonable accuracy expectation from inexpensive (about $2 a pop) factory 308 ammo. I've gotten onto a supply of S&B 168gn HPBT and it's consistently holding a smidge under 0.7 MOA to 600Y (where a bit of vertical is starting to show). I can't shoot much better than that, nor reload decently projectiled rounds at under $2, so am thinking of stocking up.

I'd be interested in what the old NZNRA ammo expectations were?

Thanks

0.7 MOA for how many shots, how frequently?

Like, what is your data set?

That's better than I've seen from any rifle with any factory ammo, match or otherwise - if for 10 shot groups and an average over multiple (even more impressive if representing overlaid groups)

11 measured rounds, 6 at 100M, 5 at 366M, the rest of the 20 just sent at steel at 571M but I've done enough shooting to know when they are humming . . .
