[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 293322, member: 15748"] Johnnymac, no, you didn't just get lucky on those first groups; you used a proven combination that works superbly well in most .308s. An entirely practical and intelligent thing to do! You could have gone off on a tangent and used some powder that nobody's using for this combination, and seen what turned up. Might have shot, might very well not have shot. Back when the .308 was THE match cartridge for HP competition, about 95% of the line would be using the same load (41.5 4895/168 MK). There was a reason for that. The 5% who weren't were usually new guys who hadn't figured out that if their rifle didn't shoot that load, the gun needed a serious checkup. Hey, when you're in unfamiliar territory but have a proven roadmap, follow the map! Good on ya' and keep it up! KT [/QUOTE]
