dharmabum 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 A friend of mine shoots a DPMS .308 and I have an S-.308. We want to see how light you can load and still cycle etc. Has anyone else experimented with this? If so what was the lightest powder load and what grain bullet? We know how these "big uglies" shoot with full loads, now we want to see what we can do with lower powder charge etc. Muchos grass amigos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc 147 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 205 grain gas checked cast lead bullet loaded to 1400fps will reliably cycle my 22" inch S308. I could not get 160 grain cast lead bullets to cycle at any reasonable velocity tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dudethebagman 222 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 39.4 grains of Varget with a 110 vmax. It cycled my 22" fine. A grain or two above that shot very well for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
