[QUOTE="MkJose, post: 1626641, member: 107218"] Two yrs ago I had a load that consistently shot verticals in the .2s (moa) at 200 with 178 Hornadys. My last 308 hunting rifle would consistently put 165 SMKs into under .4 at 200 using unprepped Lake City brass, which is more than enough to kill deer as far as I am willing to take a shot. For 300 to 600 yards you don't need heavy bullets, in fact the heavy boat tailed bullets are just beginning to pay dividends as you get to 600. Inside of that there are lots of bullets that will work very well, including flat based bullets (which if I understand it correctly is what the short range BR guys use) like the Sierra Pro Hunters series of bullets. It will take the average shooter quite a while to learn the skill to consistently shoot under .5 no matter what the rifle can do. My gunsmith once told me he liked building rifles for me because I never brought them back complaining that they wouldn't group with surplus eastern European ammo. [/QUOTE]
