I have been doing some load development for a shooting buddy of mines DPMS 308 LR. It has a 24" heavy stainless barrel, float tube and a two stage match trigger. Doing load work up with both a 155 and 175 gr. bullets using Varget, IMR 4064. Nothing is grouping any tighter than 1 3/4 MOA for 5 shots. Scope base and rings are tight. I am shooting off of a very solid bench with a Harris bipod and a Rabbit ear rear bag. The scope tracks fine. The crown is fine, and leaving a nice symmetrical star on the muzzle of the barrel. The barrel has less than 200 rounds down the tube. Does anyone have a pet load for this rifle with either the 155 or 175? Is there some trick to loading for these rifles? Or are these rifles just that bad? Any information would be appreciated.
