New member - bullet grains ?

[Ralphie 0]

Good morning, new to your forum so a little about my experience so far. Did my DSC in April 2018 and have been stalking on half a dozen occasions since then. Use a Sauer .308 and have been firing Winchester Super X 150 grain ammo. Generally  all good. All roe deer killed cleanly with most dropping on the spot. But On the range I find the accuracy less than I hope for in terms of sub MOA type groups. This is all about my experience and consistency, but I have been told that the recoil May be effecting my accuracy. I’m more than happy with .308 but wonder if bullet grain might improve the situation ?

Thanks

I use 150 grain Sierra Prohunter in my 308 and it's probably my most accurate gun. Have you tried the same weight ammo but by a different manufacturer?

Ok, thanks, I’ll try out that manufacturers ammunition as a starting point. Cheers

Hello and welcome mate , as Walshie says have you tried more than one brand of bullets to see what suits your rifle ?.

My .308 lives almost exclusively on PRVI 150g SP.

That works for me on 3 fronts, it delivers circa 1" at 100 yards, its well priced...and it does the job!

Mine is a Remington 700  SPS, and frankly is a pussycat to shoot compared to most .308/7,62 I've fired!
