sorry to have to tell ya. 308 ball does NOT have the same drop and drift values as the 168 gr match 308 load. Not only that, but 308 ball is loaded for use in belt feds. So a lot of it only groups 2 MOA, at best. Many a 308 autorifle won't group better than 1.5 MOA ,even with match ammo.
Determining Wind Values And Making Your Shots
wind often GUSTS (or lulls). Notice that 308 can EASILY miss a man at 400 yds, if the 308 user "holds off" a full value of 10mph wind, and that wind suddenly stops. The fact is, if you've got a scoped AR with match ammo and a trigger job, you've got at LEAST as much effective range as the 308 auto guy has with iron sights and ball ammo. And every 308 fanboy "thinks" that his iron sighted 308, with ball ammo, has PLENTY of range. Well the fact is, he's limited to 400 yds for reliable hits (at best) even if the enemy IS erect, fully-exposed, frontal-oriented, and holding still, with no wind or mirage. and no errors being made by the shooter (ha ha).
