It seems my LMT MWS likes 175gr SMK and the Aero Precision 6.5 Creedmoor likes 123gr ELD Match. Both of these groups are with my hand loaded ammo and are repeatable almost consistently but I will throw one out from time to time. Both optics have a top end of 10 power and the dots are 1”. I’ll take these groups with a gas gun any day of the week.


My load is:

175gr SMK
42GR Varget
CCI Benchrest Primer
FC Brass @ 2.80 OAL

123GR ELD Match
38.3gr Varget
CCI Benchrest Primer
Hornady Brass @ 2.67 OAL

Very nice rifles.
Nothing like getting a load dialed in to your rifle.
Varget is is my go to powder for 308, too.
I only shoot 175's in my BA and 168's in my AR10's.
Love your shooters!
