[QUOTE="RidgeRunner45-70, post: 3946884, member: 47011"] I tried shooting my Remington 700P in 308 Win out to 1k. 175gr Sierra MK. I to was struggling. An old timer bench rest shooter told me to dump the 308. Evidently between 900 to 1000yds the bullet drops subsonic and weird wobble/oscillation occurs. I dropped down to the Sierra 155gr Palmas and pushed them harder. It helped but was no cure unless I wanted to change to a 30” barrel. I shifted completely to a Remington 700P in 7mm Remington Magnum (Secret Service choice back then). Problem solved. Now Im shooting a 6.5mm Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
