[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1107261, member: 12995"] I was just fixing to say, I was not overly impressed with mine with just about all of the factory ammo I shot out of it. But once I started sending precision handloads through it, it was shooting 1-hole groups. Try some good ammo, like Federal 168gr Gold Medal Match, or Hornady Match 168gr. You should see some better results. I had a semi-custom .308 years ago that would put 3 of the Hornady 168 TAP (red box LE ammo) into 1 hole. And I have read of a lot of people having good results with the Federal GMM ammo, so figured it might be another good suggestion. I've never had good luck with any Remington ammo, which is why I don't even use their brass or components. IMO, anything to do with Remington ammo is junk... And one time, it almost ruined one of our .22LR semi-auto pistols. Luckily a friend of mine was able to drill and tap out the squib bullets stuck in the bore, without any damage to anything, and saved the barrel. I've had my 5R .308 Win since 2010, and it will put 3 Berger 210 VLD's inside a 1/4" group at 100, with Varget, Federal 210M primers, & loaded into Lapua brass. [/QUOTE]
