The Seirra 168 is very accurate for moderate ranges but is not a long range round. The 175 Matchking will stay supersonic past 1K and is very good for competitive shooting. The Sierra 175 Matciking will kill a deer or hog like nobodies business. It is a great hunting bullet.
For competitive 1K shooting most people have moved to the 155.5 Bergers or Scenars. They have the same BC as the 175 SMK but leave the barrel 200 fps faster. You should be around 2900 fps for 1K shooting with the 155s. I have not tried the 155.5 Bergers on animals so I have no opinion on hunting with them.
For powders the most accurate are Varget and IMR4064 with RL17 being used sometimes with the heavier bullets.
For brass, the best is Lapua and the good thing is it needs very little prep. Just load and shoot.

Thanks for the info! I'm still building on the 167 Scenars, I'm up to 2450 FPS, I'd like to get them flying at 2650 out of my 20" barrel. We shot some 155g hunting rounds out of a 26" barrel today.... WOW 3150 from factory hunting .308 ammo. I was impressed by that. Took a few shots w/ my AR as well. 55g FMJs 2950-3000fps 75g TAP was 2650-2700. That's from a 16" DDM4V1

Bob, I load and shoot Sierra for 308, 30-06 and 8mm Mauser..Matchkings all. 30 cals are 175gr and the mauser is 200gr..great loads for 308, still fintuning the 30-06. mausers are running 2570s. All grouping well. Occasionally I load 240 grs 30-06. Kinda like those too. They should be transsonic out to about 1350 meters.
The 1350 meter loads group under .75 MOA @100. The bumped up loads to a 1600meter round didn't group for shit @100...so I'm back to the 1300 meter round.
Would like to see you make a 308 thread though....

Yes, please do. I'm pretty new to long range shooting, and wanting to learn more. I'm only shooting out to 500 yards at this time.

Brown and Brown Falling Block
Brown and Brown Custom Match Grade Heavy Barrel Falling Block .223, Single Shot, Trigger 2 1/4lbs.
This one is my favorite and the best 900 bucks I ever spent. Supposed to be a Bench Rifle but is the best Predator rifle I've used. Shoots real well off hand, is well balanced, and makes the hole bigger at 100yrds. The only bummer is its a little light for mt. lion. (no dog hunting)
FYI: I prefer the Monarch (Japan) for quick close to medium range (Kentucky windage). Recoil pad is missing because I remove them from all my rifles below 30-06.

Estimate of value?
Don't have a picture downloaded to my flashdrive yet.
Used Robar SR60 w/ Leupold VX-3 4.5-14 X 50mm scope and a Pelican 1750 case.
Pretty sure I got a smokin' deal, but I'm not an expert on the value of this sort of thing.
If anyone has a ballpark estimate of value, I would greatly appreciate it.

My buddy had this FS so I took it off his hands. I might go back and grab his 220 if he wants to give me a deal on it.
It's a Sig SP2022
