Rem 783 .308 Ammo?

[DuramaxDude]

I came across a Remington 783 in a 308. I was wondering if anybody on the GS had one in a 308 and what ammo they have had the best luck with?? I have been working my way through different grain weights as I come across them. I am just wonder what others have had luck with? I have shot one in 30-06 it was a sub 1/2moa rifle. There again guys a 308 not some other caliber haha! Thanks!!

See if you can make contact w/ R C Junky, he does some smith work, and hot rodding.. he can probably tell you the best to start with..
He helped me, and dude is spot on...

$28 Federal 175gr SMK BTHPs - 6 shots .531" 5 shots was probably 1/2 to sub 1/2 moa(.5") but couldn't tell because the one hole was pretty mangled.

Used the Federal 175gr SMK BTHP to back out to 500 yards for a 5 shot 4" (.8MOA) grouping. Not to shabby for a cheapo $299 Remington.

Well like I said on the 500 yard grouping pic. Not to shabby for $299. These are the first 3 shots at 1000 yards in a shifty cross wind 7-15 mph. They held for a 1.9 moa group.
