Default RE: Ballistics, 308 WIN

I stick with Federal rounds with my Savage .308 rifle. For some reason my rifle loves Federal ammo. I remember testing it at a 100yd range with a buddy of mine. We locked my .308 into my buddy's big bench rest. Long story short - it printed a 3 round cloverleaf at 100 yds and the bullet holes touched! We couldn't believe it! So then my buddy suggested bumping up the elevation by 4 clicks, so then it's 1" high at 100 yards. So, that's where I leave it.

Plinking/target rounds: Federal American Eagle 150gr. (AE308D):
Velocity: 2820
Energy: 2648
50: -0.2
100: zero
200: -3.6
300: -13.5

Hunting rounds: Federal Premium Nosler Accubond 165gr. (P308A1):
Velocity: 2700
Energy: 2671
50: -0.1
100: zero
200: -4.0
300: -14.5
