Remington .308 PCR Range Report

Post by **garryj** » Tue Oct 16, 2018 1:18 pm

I finally made it to the range today to really try out my Remington PCR in .308 Winchester. Considering that I'm still not at 100% after a bout with the flu last week, I did OK. There a couple of very respectable groups here, but overall--just OK.

The rifle seems to do better as it warms up (just like my Henry in .357 Mag) as the groups tightened up the more I shot it.
Overall, I am pleased, but I can’t wait until my other scope gets back from repair/replace and I am at 100% to find out what this rifle can really do.

The top target is at 50yds for adjusting the scope after bore sighting. The next 3 targets are at 100 yards, 3-shot groups on each target, progressively from top to bottom. On the top and bottom targets, I started with the lower left and worked up to the upper right. For some reason, I did the opposite on the middle target.

not bad at all .... looking forward to seeing your reports once you get your good scope mounted and as you become better acquainted with your 308

I went back to the range the other day (Tuesday) to shoot my Remington Precision Chassis Rifle in 308 Winchester. I did much better this time since I’m feeling much better and I have a rear rest to steady the rifle. There are some very good groups here. I am very pleased, but I can’t wait until my other scope gets back from repair/replace (should ship today or tomorrow).

All targets are at 100 yards, 3-shot groups on each target. I’m not showing the first target, as it was to get the rifle warmed up for some serious shooting (as I said before, this rifle does better as it gets warmer).

The loads I tested were:

Nosler Custom Competition 175gr with 43.3gr Varget (target #2)

Hornady Match 178gr with 42.5gr Varget (target #3)

Hornady A-Max 168gr with 43.0gr Varget (target #4)

The best group of .35 was with the Nosler CC 175gr.
Worst group of 1.55 was with the Hornady Match 178gr.
