Another little piece of gear that would really help is a bubble level to eliminate any cant and be sure your reticle is level. It will matter a lot at longer ranges.

Pretty decent for all of them. I was quite surprised and impressed with the 185 velocity. Thanks

Another good one brother.....👍🤙 Injoying these

I had all kinds of problems getting good groups till i folded the bypod and shot off a bag instead. Way better off the bench. On the ground the bypod was better but it must been the recoil on the hard bench with the bypod that was messing things up. Give it a try

Alright. Time to get a lead sled. Best way to find what that rifle likes most is going to be a long vid or series of vids. Get a box of various types of ammo to try, get a couple 5 rd mags and set up the lead sled. Eliminate as many variables as you can including yourself. Time consuming as it may be, the results will be outstanding

LOL LOL the guy next to you is killing it!!!!!

on point with that austin powers reference haha.

Anyway, 168 grains seem to be a good standard for 308 caliber, with most of ammo brands. Usually, light bullets are more accurate than heavier. Heavier bullets are used for hunting, or for very long range (800 meters) cause they are less sensitive to the wind (but they obviously drop more quickly) . Cartridges are tested on 24 or 26" barrels by the manufacturers so, with shorter barrels the results can be a bit more random, for example the powder can be not completly burned in the barrel... 24" is the minimum standard for 308 to be sure that the powder is completely burned, and the rotation speed is optimized with long barrels.

Those birds chirping in the background, are very relaxing. But that dude next to you, must be in a hurry. The shooting sounds were hilarious! 😂🤣 But his suppressor was sounding awesome! 👍🏼😲

Good shooting Andrew. You might want to try a bag under the stock and see if that helps to tighten up the group. Thanks for the video.

Several areas to look at. You appear to have too much trigger finger on the trigger. Have the trigger shoe on the center of the pad on your last joint. Finger should form an L. It looks like yours is wrapped around the trigger. That will greatly affect your L-R impacts. Also, shoot at the bottom of your natural respiratory pause. That will affect our vertial impacts. Tighten up the bipod. Too much slop there. True offhand shooting is without any sort of support. You have a bipod, so this is not freehand/offhand shooting. Regardless of the ammo, these groups should be much tighter. All are match ammo, so easily capable of 1moa groups. Your poi will differ between ammo, but the groups should be relatively consistent. Check your paralax. That will throw off your groups if your head moves, which you are doing since you are coming off the rifle between shots. This keeps your reticle and target on the same focal plane. This means your reticle and target move together when you move your head. Take 1 at a time and get it as close to perfect as you can to eliminate that variable. No need for a sled. This is all you. Rifle is more accurate. Also stick with 1 ammo type. Same manufacturer, bullet weight and type. Once that is dialed in, compare it to other types. That way you have a solid baseline.

Range noises just happen. You will find the sweet spot ammo. Look forward to next Quest !

I'm a lefty as well good to see us oddball shooter's representing.

Adjust your zero if it's all shooting high?

Please explain to me why your so concerned about groups being high? It's a different ammo with different harmonics. You just re-zero when you find what you want to shoot off group sizes, speeds, extreme spreads etc. Given your supposed experience, not sure why your so focused on them being high. Did I miss something?

Yikes, that's pretty bad groups for gold metal match. I just got back from the range and the 175 gmm printed 1/2 moa out of my rugar american

Was that live fire while you were checking your target?

Whats ur twist rate tho…

Out of curiosity. What are the specs on your scope?

What distance are you shooting at?

Why dont you adjust your scope after each shot?

Good video! Federal 168's are regarded as the most accurate all around. But they usually go subsonic at 1000 yds and keyhole. (M1a-M14 at 2550 fps) Need to step up to a .338 Lapua or similar for the one mile

Would these be ok to hunt with?

BRO TRIGGER CONTROL!!!!

Try some ELD Hornady it’s good stuff I load my 223 and 556 they run good 👍 your getting better bud keep it up 👍

Everything you did while shooting was fine. If ur looking to tighten the groups then put a bag under ur buttstock. All the different grain rounds will come out in different spots. Not sure why u seemed disappointed. Thats why you zero scope to one particular round, then any different gr bullet or manufacturer you create an 'offset'

In my opinion, I think you should strongly consider loading your own ammo to reach your goal. Each one of those bullets are capable of far better accuracy, they just need to be tuned to your rifle specifically. When you load your own ammo, you control the seating depth powder charge.

Dude I'm getting 1 1/4 Inch or less with 18IN BCA . W/ AAC Precision 175 otm. I haven't even tried the two sets of Nosler or federal SMK'S .

Why aren't you using a rear bag???

What type of AR-10 are you using?

I think you’ll tighten up your groups if you use a bag for the back of the rifle. Good video!

Barrel Length?

I haven’t been on for a while and DAMMMMM that’s a heck of a nice scope. I think she likes that 168. However, could also be the hotter barrel. Next time, start with a different load a rotate them. You’ll find her sweet spot, and boy is it fun trying. Love the after ring of the range.

Yep somethin ain’t right here bub…myDD 16” .308 would kept 5 inside 1 of those squares or on a 20oz lid@100yrds with my 175smk handloads or hornady 178grbthp…hit 1st try@1000 58moa 178gr@2158fps….wish I had the 20” version they don’t make anymore

Hahaha sounded like you were down range while live fire!!!

That gun doesn’t like that bullet weight

lol. Austin powers.

Get a rear bag. Follow through with your shots. Trigger control.

The truth be told, you are afraid of shooting…flinching and more likely jerking the trigger. The first shot is a good one but the next shots are going away. I had learned to shoot a semiautomatic rifle correctly unlike a bolt action rifle…pause some seconds allowing the rifle to come to rest everything stops moving BCG into the buffer tube forward picking up a new round only seconds to do this operation. Snipers Hide has a video on how to shoot a semi-auto.

MY HUNTING RIFLE IS A WINCHESTER MODEL 70 I SHOOT 165 GR SIERRA GAME KING'S 1/2 INCH AT 100 YRDS AND HAVE KILLED GAME UP TO 350 YRDS. TRIGGER CONTROL!!!!!

WTF..Why the hell would someone be shooting why your down rang..

Please learn how to reload so you can enjoy the full accuracy potential of your rifle.

Americans don't want Norma to be better xD cause its Swedish not American ;)

I’m not sure you understand what freehand shooting means lol You have the wrong caliber and wrong platform entirely for shooting 1 mile..can it be done? Sure but you are literally making it as hard on yourself as possible..the proof is your inability to shoot better than 5moa. Just try a better tool for the job you are trying to accomplish and it will save tons of frustration and grief

Sir, your groups suck. My AR15 makes much,much better groups with M855 "green tips". IMHO:There is something wrong with your gun/scope/shooter system. You're wasting the expensive ammo.

Save your money, but some cheap ammo to build your fundamentals
