[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3971966, member: 48072"] Loaded 20 rounds of .308 for my M24R today. 175gr SMK, CCI-BR2, Lake City LR brass, and 42.7gr Varget at 2.810 COL. Had to break out a new (old) can of Varget recently. Did a touch of charge weight testing, and this lot required a .1gr reduction. Accuracy has always been in the 1/2 MOA range with its favorite load, but the rifle is picky...not a lot of leeway in charge weight to make you jump to a 3/4 - 1 MOA load. It's my only gripe with this gun, otherwise it is a hoot to shoot. Verified my 42.7gr charge recently at 100, and then shot this at 250 yards for final verification (~.53 MOA, about where it should be): [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230123_124054.jpg"]350008[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
