Has anyone had any luck with 190 mks in a .308 over the 175 mks? Have a savage 10 precision carbine 20 inch barrel and with my hand loads when i do my part can shoot 8 shot groups a quarter will cover up at 100 with the 175s. I have access to 290 and 300 yard shots now but i need a better scope cuz it really strugles at that distance as it is hard to see one inch dots on my targets and will up grade soon, but their is also a cross wind that blows across the entire length of the shot and its normally 5 to 10 mph. With the scope and the wind the best ive manged so far is a 6 shot group thats two inches at 290 yards. Im playin with the velocity of my 175 load to try to combat the wind as i use a mild load and a better scope will definatly be alot of help. The 190s might do better in the wind over the 175s? being a heavier bullet and my seirra book says i can push them at 2600 fps which is faster than i have been with the load i have been using with my 175s. Ive been pushing my 175s at 2500 fps, well acording to the book i dont have a chrony. My gun has a short barrel but has a 1:10 twist. Has anybody put the 190s up against their 175mks with any luck? I like Imr 4064 with the 175s and will start with that for the 190s two.
