I have had my Remington 700 Police model in 308 for several years. I have shot nothing but Federal's 168gr. Match ammo with exceptional results. (1/2-3/4) Since I lost my source for getting this ammo cheaply I have decided to start reloading for it. I have been reloading for many years but not for 308. I am sticking with 168 gr. bullets because I have a Springfield Armory tactical scope that is calibrated for the Federal load. Finally my question: Does anyone have experience with the Hornady A Max 168gr. bullets? How do they perform as opposed to the 168 MK? Are there any particular powders that lend themselves to this application?
