    Would love to see other folks' results and what ammo worked best for them. Reloaders? Would love to see your results with your finely tuned .308 loads. I'm not a reloader, so I do not have those skills to even more finely dial in the rifle with custom reloads. I'd love to though, maybe some day. But for now, so far, of the commercial loads I've run through my LMT MWS, PRIME 175gr is producing the best results. I was, frankly, shocked last weekend. I have not had a good weather day nor the opportunity to get out to my range's long gun range. The 100 yard range is flat as a pancake and I was able to run a number of commercial loads through it. Federal GMM 175 SMK did great, but the PRIME ammo beat it, noticeably so. I know that bolt actions in finely tuned .308 systems can do better, in fact the most accurate rifle for me was my AI in .308 where at 100 yards I clover-leafed Federal GMM with a .30 group. That my LMT MWS can do .37" MOA is ... ok by me.

    Please post up your best groups and describe your rifle's configuration, what ammo you are running, etc. etc.

    It is my contention that all else taken into consideration the very best semi-auto precision rifle out there are LMT rifles, offering great builds, wonderful options, modularity, caliber choices, and superb accuracy.

    I'm not interested in wading through 275 pages of mostly gear pics and broken photo links.

    This is my best group with my LMT so far....
    16”CL barrel, shooting from the bipod on a bench. This is one of my first reloads for the MWS in .308. Sierra 155gr Palma MK over 41.7 grains of Varget. I shot these first loads unsuppressed at 100 yds.

    Legit group, take that flier out and thats super tight. Im hoping my 20 SS will produce consistant half inch groups.

    Indeed. I am still working up some loads. Trying out the 175gr SMK over IMR 4064. I have had excellent results so far out of the 16” barrel. I may swap out the 16” for the 18” for the next round of testing. The 155gr SMK is a keeper for sure.
