[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1837878, member: 109229"] Well, don’t beat yourself up. These numbers are pretty decent, in fact I’ve read that if you can keep ES under 20, you are in pretty good shape. I watch for vertical dispersion at 300 yards and I’m under 1/2 minute. I’m seeing ES of around 30. For my needs that is more than sufficient but I know there is room for improvement. Anyway, I was watching a YouTube video the other day and a guy was testing all kinds of factory .308 ammo (Federal GMM, Hornady, etc). I was quite surprised to hear him report spreads with some of these factory brands of 70 to 90 FPS. Now I don’t feel so bad about my spreads but I still wanna get them down. Controlling neck tension seems to be a significant factor but I think I need to experiment with some different primers too. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
