Lapua 308 brass

[spladi]

I built a Tikka T-3 308 new I shot 10 rounds this weekend to get a tight enough group on paper @ 100-Y . then I shot a powder load test with Varget from 39-G to 41.5-G with 168-G Berger VLD with the large primer pocket Lapua brass. from 39-G to 41-G of powder I shot an average of an 1-1/4 groups. at 41.5-G I have a nice 3 shot clover with all holes touching. That was the first time it went that easy for me with a brand new rifle. Usually I have to shoot 1 to 2 hundred rounds through the barrel to even start getting something that I like. I hope I can duplicate this on my next trip to the range,

I have often heard of and use loads similar to yours but with a couple more grains of Varget, ( 168 SMK's to be exact ) to get 1/2 MOA groups.
