Tx puffin, interesting thread.
I guess I am one of those guys who believes that you can get just about any barrel to shoot significantly better by hand loading. So far I have been lucky enough to work out an acceptable load just messing with charge and jump mostly. Some projectiles like the Berger VLDs take a lot more work and experimentation, but that to me is the fun part.
Also kinda depends on what your criteria are for precision...
Finally got a decent bite with a change in bait, slamming the application of OCW alone was not delivering.:)Quote:

Factory ammo.
Simply put, I don't get out to the range to shoot the rifle as much as I would like, so it's a little bit of a slow process. However, I plan to make up another set of loads based around what I found out with the second lot and confirm.
Really, any of them would be fine for hunting. That's not the point.
Though, to further mix things up, I have also just picked up a Rem700 Varmint in 308 as a budget precision build... busy times!
