[QUOTE="Havard, post: 1831036, member: 107374"] How’s the song go, “you can’t always get what ya want”? my oldest son’s model 700, Gen 2 / 5R in .308 has been more challenging that I care to admit. Round count is still less than or right at 100, so I am hoping it will hit a tight spot somewhere in the future. I worked up a load with Varget & 150gr TSX using 210m primers and Lapua brass. Minus .020” off the lands gave me a decent 3/4 MOA group so I proceeded to load 25 rounds for whitetail season. Long story short they wouldn’t magazine feed (my mistake) so I seated deeper and the group opened up. The sucker has a tremendous amount of gap between COAL magazine lengths and ogive / lands so I thought we would try some factory rounds and see if it liked anything off the shelf to possibly avoid more load development during said season. We have tried Hornady 150gr SST, Federal loads with 150gr Partitions, Whitetail Deer Season, 168gr Federal GMM, and a couple more that I have forgotten. He has some of his high school buddy’s that talked him into trying Remington Corelokts and against my better judgement, we got a box. 4 shot group, cold bore included, produces a .669” group at 100yds. Now can someone please explain this one? And what should I try to load going forward?At this point I refuse to accept that I can’t work up a load equal to or better than a $22 dollar box of Corelokts 😂 [/QUOTE]
