I was wondering if any of you good folks shot the 178 grain Amax? I am currently using 44 grains of IMR 4064. It groups very well. I have noticed a half mil drop between 100 and 200 yards. What are your experiences?
never tried the 178's. usually shoot the 168. what gun and twist rate?
FNH SPR 1/11.5"
Thats what a buddy of mine shoots in his 308. Right at 32' of drop at 1000.
Nice
Best rifle I ever had!
Beastep,can you ask your buddy what powder and weight he uses as well as what velocity he gets?
I am getting .5 mil drop between 100-200 yards. That's exactly what my 168 SMK was doing.

Yeah Ill ask him. I dont think he has ever ran it over a chrono though.
Drop from 100 to 200 should be about .5 mil with either 168 or 175 grain slugs.
Depending on velocity I usually have .4 to .5 mil drop at that distance.

400. 1.9
500 3.2
My 7.62x39 AR shooting wal mart Tula
100. 0
200. 1
300. 2
400. 3.5
Can't remember what 500 was.
Shot much better than expected.
Winchester in the white box at walmart shot very poorly. At least I now have 100 brass reload able cases to start with.
Thinking 135 SMK.
