I reqlly like varget cause it seems forgiving in the 308 . Can shoot tha same charge all year and have found the same loads are fairly accurate in most rifle i have for hunting rifles anyway.. iv never loaded for a automatic before so not sure what im looking for or if its functioning like it...

Thought about trying that in my new BAR MK4 in just bought. I called hogdon and asked about powders for semiautomatic rifle. He said varget would work and be clean burning i just worry about it making the rifle function properly? it would be easy metering than a stick powder ... question is...

My custom Tika loves 42.5gr Varget with a 168 gr matchking

That is correct 4064 is an excellent powder in 308 with 168 grain or 175 grain match King unfortunately it is what is used in all military and law enforcement so it has been unavailable for many years now very little bit of it trickles out to the public anymore. Varget he's pretty close in the...

Maby this 43gr load was never that good then lol I will try 44 , 44.5 and 45gr 45 or 46 grains is getting close to the max in my book

My wifes ruger 308 seems to like 45gr with a 150 .. if i remember right mine at 45gr didnt do so good

I do have some Boreteck eliminator. Might try that again , let it sit for a bit . I ordered a bore scope should ve here tomorrow sometime. That should tell me a lot. Barrel might be nasty for all i know . But its getting a new scope regardless as I think this one might going bad .

Im try pick up a scope on way home today also . .. try same load again, might bump the charge up and down a little with few extra rounds see if it helps the grouping at all later .. My wifes 308 and target 308 seemed to like the 150gr bullets in the 2600-2700fps range . Im using 43gr of varget...

The scope if very suspicious right now lol . It might be ok but I may replace it anyways .. wish I could post the video of the turrets I took but it wont allow video on here

Well I home its just the scope but im clean the barrel again good . Maby its not clean enough. Im lost at this point lol

I I don't know much about carbon ring in a barrel could that be what's going on?

Just a good brush and solvent?

It was fine on my other 2 rifles . But this one wouldnt think of going through or even start ... I have boertech eliminator and there copper solvent I think

I do have a chrono but didnt take it that day .. i might try bump the charge weight up some 43 gr worked ok a while back but maby it wasnt what it really liked ? So this is going to sound crazy but.. thinking about it the last time I cleaned this hunting rifle that I'm having an accuracy...

Morning . Hot wifes rifle sorted out now for mine... its a old gen1 ruger american 308 . It used to shoot 43gr varget with sierra btsp pretty good . Then all the sudden it dont anymore . Cleaned barrel , checked rings , bases , action screws. Nothing ! Maby the scope is gone bad ? Either way...
