My top secret load is 168gr Sierra BTHP Match with 43.5gr Varget
So far, I've shot 20 rounds of 168 nosler spitzers at 2.805 OAL over 44.6 gr varget with federal primers out of full length sized and trimmed lake city brass in the AR 10 and averaged about 1.4" 100 yd groups on a breezy day. I haven't shot this load in the bolt guns (both of which run an inch or less with remington core lokt) but I'll try them next trip to the range. I'm also going to try some hornady 168 AMAX set up similarly. The AR 10 groups were a little disappointing especially given that all of my 223 loads shoot 1/2" inches out of my jp ar and my cz 527.
