308

  1. 308 choices

    Hi. Looking for opinions please. I recently got my variation for my .308 and foolishly raced out to get the first one I thought was ok which was a Savage Arms Axis, I mounted my scope and zeroed it in. But after going out a few times I found that it just doesn’t feel or fit right. So I have...

  12. Stubborn Fouling in Last Inch of the Barrel

    Hi All, I have a 20" .308 barrel that seems to get a build up of very stubborn fouling (carbon) in the last inch of the barrel. Any ideas what could be causing this? Is it the load, the moderator, the barrel itself? For context, it is a very new barrel, shooting 150gr bullets using N140 powder...
  13. Corrosion in rifle barrel?

    My 308 rifle has fired less than 200 rounds. When cleaning it the other day I noticed some strange marks in the barrel near the muzzle. Any ideas what these marks are? Copper deposits?

  17. Best Calibre for Deer with Copper Bullets

    I am researching a new calibre for my main deer rifle. I have a .303 SMLE which is great for woodland but I can’t make it accurate enough (for my personal standards), 6.5 CM which I bought and enjoyed using with 143gr ELD-X bullets. I am now shifting to non-toxic and finding the 6.5CM lacking...

  19. Shooting to the right

    I've noticed that my setup seems to shoot slightly to the right at 200m or if using faster ammunition at 100m. For example, with 150gr bullets (in my 308) I am bang on at 100m, but 1" to the right at 200m. With faster 110gr or 130gr bullets I am 1.5" to the right at 100m. Can anyone explain what...
