[QUOTE="PrairieHunter, post: 3065939, member: 125422"] Thanks. For reference, this rifle produces 3-shot groups of 0.5 to 0.8 inches as the best I've tested. The best factory loads were Federal Fusion 140's @ 0.8", and the Nosler Custom 140 accubonds @ 0.5". I have gotten groups as tight as 0.6" with the Hornady 154's and Varget, but am playing with H4350 to see if that is better. I don't like paying $60+ per box of 20 hunting bullets, so I am experimenting to find an acceptable load for the hundreds of 154 Hornady's that I have. Believe me, for the purpose of my 7mm08 rifle and what I use it for, any of those sub-MOA groups would do the job (inside 300 yards). I'm not a good enough shooter or interested in bench shooting or I would be asking about fine-tuning a load for my custom Blue Mountain 7 PRC instead of my cheap Savage! 🤣 [/QUOTE]
