Thread: 308 reloading

ok that was a tad naughty of me to answer like that.....there is an almost identicle thread going back 2 weeks ago with almost identicle question phrased differently...
point being you have corelocts going sub inch...I take it thats consistantly????
eg after you shot unhappy 2plus inch group with reloads you then tried corelocts and again went sub inch.....= eliminating ANYTHING else.
so if thats case...you have two things...a seating depth rifle likes...and velocity rifle likes.....
set dies using factory coreloct sorts one out.....velocity isnt something I delve into....but MAYBE drop down half grain then grain and SEE what happens...10 projectiles and a bit of time and you MAYBE might find magic sweet spot.

Yeah I understand the frequency questions like this are asked so Don't blame you for your response haha.
I shot 3 of each from 44-46 grain and as I said 45.5 was the best. Was improving with speed but then 46gr opened up again. I went off the reloading manual for length but I will definitely try setting my dies off thr factory and see what happens there. Imagine it will compress my loads a bit more so will see what that does.
Corelokts have been shooting consistently. I was wondering if my rifle preferred the 150s based on how it shot the factory but then remembered it didn't shoot the 165gr sako loads too badly just a shame they are too slow and too hard for the intended purpose
