[QUOTE="Turpentine, post: 634776, member: 42700"] I shot up a pound of varget with hornady 150 sst and 150 accubonds in 308. The consistency was great with all loads under an inch. My best group was 4 shots in .62 and the average was .75". I decided to give power pro 2000 a try. The first 5 shot group I fired with accubonds went into .42". Hornady 165 SSTs also Shot under a half an inch. I need to test more to determine consistency but so far my rifle seems to like it. One thing I noticed was was that my barrel seemed much cooler after the shot with power pro than it did with Varget. The best load so far is WW brass, Fed 210m, 50.8 grains PP 2000, Accubond 150 seated to 2.810. No pressure signs so far so I may ease on up and see what happens. Sorry, no chrono. The rifle is a Rem 700 sps varmint .308 with 26" barrel that I restocked with a B&C Medalist target with aluminum bedding block. I skim bedded with Devcon. I also added a Timney 510 trigger and my old standby Kahles 8x56 with Warne Mounts. I wanted to try the power pro to see if I could get a little flatter trajectory for the huge bean fields I hunt but I wont settle for velocity at the expense of accuracy. I'll post more after i've done more shooting. [/QUOTE]
