Steve, those are some outstanding groups. Do I understand your "production rifles" to mean, NO custom work or tuning of the firearms?

As to the overall topic, I've been pretty impressed with accuracy of standard, off-the-shelf Remington factory ammo in the past few years, especially in .257 Roberts, .223, and .25-06. I've gotten repeatable sub-one inch groups with each of these. One notable exception was their .308 180 gr. "Express" load. Just can't get it to shoot in my Savage Scout, though I've found a couple of handloads which do right well.

Best,
Johnny
