[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1372430, member: 16938"] I've never seen a cartridge that rivaled handload precision with factory ammo the way the Creedmoor does. You might get lucky with off the shelf 308 ammo. Perhaps FGMM. In comparison, the Creedmoors stack about everything into 1/2 MOA groups in varying price points from the Ruger American up to full custom. Honestly, with factory ammunition I'm happy with up to 3/4 MOA from the 308, but with the CM if it's not better than 1/2 MOA it's a throw away. Handloads are a different story all together. 1/2 MOA or better is the standard for the 308 and 1/4 MOA with the CM. It's just what I've come to expect from having a couple CMs in the safe alongside a 308. [/QUOTE]
