[QUOTE="leadsender, post: 704246, member: 55416"] Hello everybody, I am shooting a remington 700 sps, everything is stock on it and I have a nikon monarch sitting on top. Now, my problem is I used to only shoot 168gr hornady match bullets through it and it shot amazing groups, I wanted to switch to something that had a little better penetration for hunting (I know it is stated on the box that A-max are not for use in hunting but I figure it should do for vermin). My .308 seems to like RL-15 and Varget so I loaded up 6 RL-15 and 6 varget with with almost the exact same charge and C.O.L as match. My .308 is zero at 300 yards, and with my spotter watching I was hitting 25 to 40 yards low of the target when match was dead on. These two bullets have identical bc and density. Anybody have these same results? Also I am putting the A-max loads and the match loads together usng the hornady loading book. [/QUOTE]
