Sisco, do you just max out your OAL to the mag or do you hand feed a longer cartridge?

so, much better today. This was my 1st target at 100 yrds with the ATCR and Spuhr mount. Top right 168 gr Fed match, center and bottom right 150 gr Wolf, bottom left 124gr Remington, top left PriviPart. 147. Last week ALL the targets were like the top left. Then I put the Burris QD mount back on (in the correct direction) with the original NF scope and the groups opened up again, but not as bad as last week. I think you are correct, the Burris mount has to go. I did move the scope forward to 1/2 inch past the charging handle. Any further forward and my cheek was rolling over the edge of the cheek piece.

I'm at the range tomorrow. I will try the Spuhr and ACTAR first. If it gives me good groups, i'll place the Burris back on the correct way and to the end of the charging handle as washguy suggested. I'll update, thanks.

I will just try another mount. I have a spuhr waiting for my Les B 308 that's been on order since Janurary just sitting on my bench, so i'll try it. Any favorite handloads for this LMT 308? I'm looking for good groups at 200yrds.

I was shooting on the cement tables at Kelbleys range in Ohio where they hold the national benchrest comp. . I use a front rest and sandbag. The burris mount is a quick release; pictures enclosed. I broke the barrel in. The rifle cycles good, no fails. The brass does have a nick on the neck on all cases. None of my bolt rifles do that. I used Federal gold match 168, privy part. 175 match, Remington 150 gr lorlock.( I normally handload for my Rem 700).It is a lmt factory trigger. I always clean the rifle after the range, nothing different noted.

Thank you. Yes this is my 1st 308 in AR platform. It has the LMT Tactical stock. ( I normally handload for my Rem 700). I have a burris one piece mount on the LMT. My groups are not even 3 inches @ 100yds.

I am having horrible groups with my lmtmws 308 20 inch 1 in 11 twist barrel. I have tried 150, 168, 175 gr projectiles @ 100 yrds. I have a night force optic. Does any one have any recommended loads for this rifle.
