[QUOTE="Captainmorgan, post: 1417268, member: 100945"] Guys, I am looking to develop a hunting load for my 308 Sako 85. I've tried every factory ammo I could buy with mixed results. Even with Federal gold medal match. Groups average 1-3" at 100 yards. Gun specs are suppose to be 1moa for 5 shot groups. I have a 7mm mag that shoots 1 hole groups at 100, so I think I'm capable of it. The best accuracy I get is with factory Nosler trophy grade ammo in 150gr accubonds, but it is inconsistent. I get a few touching then it opens up in no particular order. Next thing you know the spread is a couple inches. The scope is a nightforce shv. I swapped with another nightorce scope and it didn't help so I am ruling out the scope and mounts out. Everything is tight. I'm using a lead sled and also tried a bean bag. I need a starting point with powders, bullets and primers... Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
