Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A very basic, common, .308 rifle setup

Rem 660 in a Brown Precision/Decelerator.
Old varix-ii 3x9 in Talley Lightweights

165gr BTs over too much 4895, LC NM brass, CCI 200s.

Used Sierra 165gr HPs over BLC-2 for awhile.
Muzzle blast sucked. Meat damage was epic.
Went back to the beginning.


Been using it since 1989.
Cheated with a 300mag, 30-06, 6.5 Swede, 243.......
700, 760, T3, M-7....

Nothing handles as goodor kills better. (Some not as well.
Of the batch, it is the least or 2nd least accurate.
But, I shoot it the best in the field.
And benchrests don't mean schidt in hunting rifles,
results do.



And yet, I'm still looking for that one, perfect rifle.
What an idiot!
