Pending IBS HG 600 Record at Oak Ridge

Post by Rinso »

John Lewis has a pending IBS record for Heavy Gun Group at 600 yards and what a great great group! .386 at 600 yards
The rifle was a .308, tightnecked, shooting a Lapua 155g in a 14 twist barrel that was chambered 20+ years ago

Just goes to show that the humble 308 can still do the job despite its age when driven well.

That's tight.
I love the 308 and agree in the right hands it's a competitive round.
