[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 738239, member: 5302"] Not surprised that IMR4064 did so well in those tests. That powder was used to win most of the matches and set most of the records with the .308 round in bolt guns when it was popular for competition. One arsenal, decades ago, did tests with the M2 172-gr. match bullet in .30-06 match ammo and got about 25% smaller test groups than IMR4895 produced. But it had to be weighed; high speed metering on their production lines threw more consistant charges of IMR4895 so that's the one that was used. [/QUOTE]
