I have two .308 Savages, both of them are Law Enforcement models. These are the top 10 loads for each.
The oldest is a 2008 10 FP with a 24-inch barrel (with a replacement Savage barrel after the original was shot out with 6,500 rounds. I was learning how to reload and what bullets and powder worked with a .308). The new barrel has shot 120 loads and 427 groups.
The second one is a 10 FCP-K with a 24-inch barrel and a muzzle brake.
I bought this one while I was deciding if I wanted to replace the barrel on the 10 FP. It now has shot 173 loads and over 300 groups.
