[QUOTE="TAZMAN, post: 2766873, member: 1708"] I just built a new 308 on a savage action. My gunsmith had a 300 RUM diamond fluted Krieger barrel (1-10 twist) that he never used so I had it cut to 24 inches and chambered in 308 with a blended 4 port muzzle brake. The first 6 rounds took 2 shots to adjust the scope and the next 4 went .27moa. 2750 with Varget and a 178 ELDM. I used PP2000MR yesterday and shot 2800FPS with a es of 4 and the same .25moa 4 shot group. Lapua brass shows a little pressure with the 48 grains of PP2000MR but no pressure signs with 44.8 grains of Varget. I will bring the Varget load up to 45 grains and the PP2000MR load down to 47.5 and I suspect it will settle in at around 2770-2780FPS with the 210 primers. Going to try CCI 200 primers with the PP2000MR powder. [/QUOTE]
