I have the DPMS LR308 rifle and my friend has the Savage rifle in 308. I load this round for both rifles and it is the best one I have found. I have tried many! I have used Winchester, Remington and Federal Match cases. The Federal seem to give the absolute best results but you won't be dissapointed with the others. CCI 200 primer, 47.5 grains of Accurate 2520 with a Sierra Varminter 110 grain Hollow point bullet. This is the maximum charge Accurate recommends. I load this with Lee dies and the Lee Factory Crimp Die. You should get your 1/4 inch at 100 yards easy with this load. I hope this helps.
