Savagenut....PUT THE RIFLE DOW AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE BENCH !!

Don't play with it mate, don't try to improve it...you have achieved the standard....368" is about a hair's breadth off'n being a single hole mate. Well Done.

Cheers, Vince

Welcome Savgenut, at .368 moa you have nothing to complain about, neither from the load nore the rifle. As far as ex military cases go i would be cautious as i did read somewhere they are not identical to the 308w,
but i can't remember exactly why! Watch those pressure signs, and a sticky bolt is the main one for me, with flattened primers being second, except for Federal, which like the pistol primers are softer than all the others.

Cheers erny.

That sound like the minimum charge weight or slightly below? Nice velocity for that much powder.

Blue star brass in AR has all sorts of brass OFB and new, they are great to deal with and their prices are good. Even have 300 savage, and other rare shells.
