[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 188975, member: 9736"] Jim at R.W. Hart just gave me a recipe for a great load. I was shooting Nosler Brass out of my 300 with federal 210 primers 73.5 grains of Reloader 22 over a 190 Berger VLD. Shot a .328 group right out of the gate. When I started I was in the same boat you are with the 1 1/2 to 2 inch group. I was ready to ship the rifle off for a new barrel but I was able to work up a load with IMR 4831 that shot a .381 3 shot group. (.689 outside spread - .308?) I am not a target shooter, I don't have the equipment for competition or to be really accurate. I use a tackdriver front bag and a cheapo rear. I have a 6br that shoots a bunch of different bullets and loads really well making a nice ragged hole at 100 yards but the 300 is much more picky. Try the RE22 and the 190 VLD load and let us know what happens. My brother has tried the same load with the 180 accubond and had great success also. We were shooting golf balls at 120 yards. The 300 is a little overkill for the golf ball but pretty cool when hit. [/QUOTE]
