    So, after months of trying, and a lot of just having fun just cooking for my best girl and having her eat what i fixed, i have a 3.52"group @ 200yds, prone W/sling... PPU case with a CCI 34, 155grSMK over 48gr IMR4064...
    i want to personally thank all you guys for the help... After all, alice would most likely be still sick from my cooking...
    One last question though... i'm getting ready for my M14 next, is there a case gauge made for the 7.62X51 NATO cartridge???
    i await input...
    tango mike...
    bombdog, out...

    That's bound to be a good combo. Overall, I've had better luck with the 155's and 4064 than most other combinations. (altho' 80g seems like quite a bit!) Also, I have a Hornady gauge for .308 that checks ammo that works fine in my M14 and .308 M1. You sure don't want a shoulder not set back quite far enough in a gas gun.

    For a less expensive option, I've also had good results from the Hornady 150g FMJs.

    The Hornady 150 FMJ's gave me a 5.7" gp the same day with the same charge...
    Which is incase no one has seen my edited reply (48gr 4064), not 80... Maybe in my 1917, ouch...

    Yup - 'your mileage may vary.." - it was very hard to find one load that was as accurate as possible in an M1903, 1903A3, and a two M1s. That's part of the fun...
