How'd you miss the bullseye 6 times?

Yeah yeah yeah....1.75 Inches to high....I'll adjust that next time. Funny, it was bang on last shoot....? 10C difference in shooting must be why it's off so much.
I was starting to load some 168's, and found that the bullet needs to be waaay out there to touch the rifling. Like 2.982 Why in the world would remington make the lead so long? Are all of these 700's like this? Is this normal? They don't fit in the magazine like that.

Mine is the same. I did load some lapua scenar 155's long for a .040 jump which I think is optimum for that bulet. However it did not make a diference for me. So now I just load them to magazine length, and they work well all the way out to 800 m which is the longest I have shot.
Yes, they were boat tails. Bulk bullets that came up from Las Vegas. Not all of them were the same, some longer, some shorter, but all of them 147 grain. Even some tracer in there. 147 seems to work for me, as I can't find a range past 300 yards anyways. To bad we can't have somebody in Canada start producing .308 bullets for our market here.
I found that my PSS would shoot just about anything into 3/4 -1 moa with the occasional group around 1/2.But it would never shoot 1/2 consistently.I think you will find that it is seriously long throated and I was told by remington,when I complained, that they throated them like that due to legal issues.Have fun with it and when it starts to bug you there are lots of good Canadian barrel makers out there.
Why adjust it. For group shooting you want your Aim Mark to stay consistent. If you start shooting the aim mark, you lose your actual POA.
When shooting for group I always have my shots 1MOA or so higher than my aim point.
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying, which probably has to do with not knowing what POA is lol; could you please elaborate?
Exactly.
My POI is set to 1MOA higher than my POA so that I am not obliterating my aiming mark potentially making the group larger by not holding the exact same point every shot.
