As most know I bought a nice used Remington tactical just shy of 2 years ago. Well I have been working on loads for it, off and on. Its been a great rifle and very easy to load for and not to picky on what I feed it, but AOL has to be exact. Groups have been hovering around the low .200's up to .400, for quite some time. I always thought it would do a little better so I have been slowly going through some different combinations of components. Varget and RL-15 being the primary powders, Nosler CC and Seirra Match King (both 168 gr. ) the bullets, and Laupa and FC. Match, the cases, along with CCI standard rifle primers. Whatever what combination I use I got the same results. I have read that .308 likes Magnum primers. So today I shot 1 group with the standard primers (lower left) and the other using mag primers, (lower right) Both groups using the match king. Then I shot two more groups using standard primers, RL -15 Nosler CC and again the SMK., and changed the case to plain old vanilla W Westerns, that I had from my last .308. I had worked them over last winter when I was in braces, and used them today. Top center, the SMK at 6 oclock 4 inches out and the Custom Comps, at 5 oclock at 1 inch out. I believe I may have found my load. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
