Is my inaccuracy in my loads or my shooting technique?

[QUOTE="ltrmc02, post: 886557, member: 39103"] Since I have just gotten into reloading and smokeless powder is nearly impossible to acquire from what I'm seeing I bought the only powder I could find said to be OK for .308 which is IMR 3031. Once looking up loads for it I see it is a bit faster burning than the more popular powders like Varget and Reloader 15. I'm trying to work up a load just for my 20" with this powder as my thinking is the faster powder may be better in a shorter barrel but I may be wrong in my thinking? I've tried 155gr Amax and 168gr Nosler Custom Competition and have set them at different OAL and changed the charges a little. I'm starting to get flat primers at around 2530 fps with the 168's. Just looking at load charts I see that IMR 3031 builds more pressure than other powders while achieving the same velocities so it's not my choice of powder, just the only thing I could get my hands on at the time.
