Funny y'all should mention primers. I did all of my initial testing with varget using 210m's. I later found some br2s and figured I'd try them. They cut my group sizes substantially. Up to half with some loads. Even the regular cci 200 grouped better overall. My 308 seems to prefer...

10-4 and thanks for the info. I'm thinking I could theoretically get 2850 to 2875 with my 26" barrel and 165s. I know all rifles are different.

I just had the exact same thing happen to me with power pro 2000mr. At 60 degrees, 5 shots into .42 inches. Went back to the range on a 90 degree day and shot four 3 shot groups. The best group was 1.3 inches. The load wasn't close to max either at 50.8 grains with 150 accubond. Max is 51.5

Liltank. What length barrel are you using? Those velocities are impressive with a 168 grain bullet.

I have done a little shooting with 165 sst's. My rifle seems to be a little more consistent with the heavier bullets using power pro. Now that I have found a really good hunting load (sub .5 moa) for the 150 accubond with varget, I'll be able to devote more time and experimentation to the...

A follow up to my previous post. I'm a little concerned about my most recent trip to the range to test power pro 2000. Last week I shot 4 three shot groups with the 50.8 grain load that shot so well for me before. Everything was the same except for the temperature (90 degrees). The same...

I shot up a pound of varget with hornady 150 sst and 150 accubonds in 308. The consistency was great with all loads under an inch. My best group was 4 shots in .62 and the average was .75". I decided to give power pro 2000 a try. The first 5 shot group I fired with accubonds went into...
