[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 827902, member: 39764"] Just did a workup for a friend's Savage chambered in 308. I loaded everything in half grain increments with Sierra 168 grain SGK's in Federal Brass with H335 and appropriate primers, 10 off the lands. F/L resized in RCBS competition dies, VLD necked, pockets reamed, flash holes deburred cut to Sammi specs. I didn't chromo any but it was interesting that the rifle preferred a lower charge over a higher one, in fact, the bullet yaw increased as the charge went up. He's anal about one hole groups (I'm not). One hole groups are fine on paper but in real life, a kill zone is a kill zone. It consistently grouped at less than a half inch at 100 yards on every increment but the yaw increased. Now, benchrest comp is a different matter but not real life everyday hunting scenarios.
