My 308 baby

I'm wondering why the cheap walmart ammo seemed to give tighter groups than you post with the handloads?

The handloads in the other post was when this rifle wore 243 briches. That barrel was a sporter weight barrel and short. Now it has 308 briches but a heavy fluted barrel. During the barrel install I had the chamber recut to tighten it up and had the lugs lapped. I also added the laminate stock to replace the flimsy tuperware.

Ah ok... I see. Makes sense then!

So now I would expect that you can expect even greater results with handloads developed for the changes.
