[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1254021, member: 10755"] ES & SD are not the be all and end all of good groups, I have some short range (300-600) loads that show an ES over 100fps, but, produce itty bitty 3/8 MoA at this range, beyond that, they open due to velocity spread. I used the Berger 210gr VLD for comp shooting for some time, until my supply dwindled and I couldn't source any more. I have some 215 Hybrids here, but, no point testing them when I can't get more. I find many bullets don't like a particular powder, switching powder is often all that's needed to find good groups, but, before I switch powders I will try different primers with the same charges and see if it improves, then I will try a different powder if no improvement is found. I tried the 208 Amax in my 300 comp rifle, the results weren't very good, the 200gr Accubond actually grouped tighter and flew flatter according to my ballistics program. Cheers. gun) Edit to add: Just realised it's a 30-06, ignore my powder choices, I apologise for misreading your post. I deleted the powder recommendations. [/QUOTE]
