if you are wanting to shoot past 800 with it avoid the 168's. 178's or 155's are the ticket for 1k in 308.

I currently load using 45.5 grains of Varget under a 150gr Hornady Interlock SPBT. Ignited by a CCI Large Rifle Primer.
I get very good results from this load with my gun(23.6" barrel).

If u try and use the bergers check their website first. They recommend very fast twist rates to stabalize the long bullets which have to be seated out to the lands in the barrel and sometimes can't fit into box magazines and have to be loaded single. I'm using the new barnes long range hunter bullet which is 175grains and using remington brass and imr 4895 and seating to the lands i'm getting 1/2 moa but i'm also maxing the load. So watch your pressure and signs on the brass. Also the federal match rifle primers. I'm using the lymans reloading manual. Every gun is different so experiment with multiple bullet weights and oal seating of the bullet in the case. Also the rifle twist of the barrel will also limit what weight bullet your gun will shoot well.
No, but based on the data it should be running around 2640 if I'm not mistaken. I've got my data at home and I can check it later
I'm not sure if it's the same one you owned, I picked it up on the ODT though. I think the thread said something about "shoots tiny groups."
Thank's for the reply,I am shooting a Shilen Barrel with a 1 in 10 twist.
Do you have pictures of your rifle? I'd love to see it!
42.5 gr of Varget under a 165 gr Hornady SST. Tight groups and great performance on game.
Sure look on the review section under Custom Remington 700.
