Good reminders of standerd come ups Thank you,, I seem to remember the come ups for the aprounds being a little defrant I think becouse the ap round was/is abit heaver av about 165 gr? ah I will just start at 300 and work from there and see what it does and write down my dope on these loads im useing ,so much to learn .

The AP round was IIRC a 173 gr. Which was, I believe, the same as the LC match. I've got the figures you need around here somehwere, but can't put my hand on it. PM VAshooter, I'll bet he's got that dope.

The standard come ups should get you within a click or two (they did for me) until you find out your own zero for each range. That's why I posted the link.
You are correct in stating that they will be different. Due to the higher BC of the 168 grainers I believe you will find that they typically take one or two clicks
less.
Remember - every shot is a sighter. ;D
AP and M72 Match bullets are both 173 grain, and will have different trajectories, as they have different Ballistic Coefficients.
That being said, find the trajectory chart for 168 gr .308 Match ammo, and you will be very close.
Here's some data from Sierra on the 168 gr MK that you can use as a starting point as well.
Find your velocity and go from there.
