[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 937705, member: 10391"] My apologies to the original poster for getting a little off course here. I have family scattered along the coast from Santa Maria to Monterey. Left there in 1992 and now when I go to visit feel like a total stranger. It is certainly not the place I grew up in. Just ran a couple quick comparisons in Quick Load for a 308 (SAAMI): 24 inch barrel 168gr Berger 44.5 Varget Fill 105%...Burn 98.68% 20 inch barrel Fill 105%...Burn 97.8% 24 inch barrel 185gr Berger 42gr Varget Fill 103.5%....Burn 99.09% 20 inch barrel Fill 103.5%...Burn 98.34% This should give you an idea of what is going on.
