Mueller Rifle Scopes
Long range shooting?
Was wondering if anyone could tell me some thing I could do to setup my rifle for long range shooting. Right now I have a Ruger m77 in .308 caliber. I have a mueller 8.5-25×50mm scope. Was wondering if theres anything else i can do to tighten up my groupings, out to 500meters.
Thanks
Sounds like you have your equipment basically in order. What about your ammo? Have you tested a variety of commercial loads or tried reloading your own?
There are many different manufacturers offering several different loadings for your .308. There is no one brand of ammo that is better than all others. But, you can be sure that there is one out there that is more accurate in your gun than all the others. Which one works best in your specific rifle can only be determined by testing a number of them at the range on targets to see which groups best.
Begin by choosing your ammo according to how you’re going to use it. For target shooting, you’ll probably (but not always) do best with FMJ loads. For hunting, there is a wide variety of new bullet weights and styles available, each designed with a specific purpose in mind, each offering a different result down range. You need to match the bullet to the type of game you’ll be hunting and the ranges you’ll be shooting.
Many of us take this process to the extreme by reloading our own ammunition. By so doing, the possibilities are endless, and most of us are able to make up the “perfect” load for our purposes for any of our centerfire rifles. But, since everyone is not prone to taking up reloading, start out with the commercially available ammo and see what results you get.
With testing, you’ll find at least one particular load that combines the best accuracy with the desired down-range results. That’s the loading that’s going to be the most effective on game from your rifle and give you the smallest groups on the target, and that would be your choice for the best ammo. Remember that high speed alone does not necessarily make the best ammo. It will really come down to which load shoots best in your rifle.
