re: DPMS LR 308

Good price.
Did DPMS say that the 165-168 would/should be the most accurate ammo, or were they saying you couldn't/shouldn't shoot anything else in that rifle ??
As I said, I've had mine for a few years. Broke it in per DPMS instructions (which I've since learned may not have really been necessary), and then tried Federal & Black Hills in 168 grain match grade (BTHP), and got OK results.
But in my rifle (maybe not in yours) the Hornady 150 grain SST will put 5 shot groups in a single .30 caliber hole at 100 yards.
So I ended up buying a batch of the Hornady SST and stuck the Federal & Black Hills ammo in my "ammo closet."

DPMS told me that a 165 to 168 grain amercian made cartridge was the most accurate. DPMS said that I needed to shoot 150-200 rds to get it broke in but I heard that is overkill (no pun intended). I bought three boxes of HMS berger 168 grain BTHP to break it in and probaly won't use all of them. I will probaly hunt with whats left and plink with some cheaper. I have another question regarding optics. I ordered a leopold rifleman 3x9x50 scope with extra high burris rings. I've been told that it is to big and will not work very well. What say you, should I go smaller or stick with what I ordered?
