First thing is get rid of the 110 and 150 gr. loads.

I have NEVER gotten decent groups with factory loads or handloads with bullets of that weight.

If you want to get some good factory ammo, try Federal Premium in 168 gr. bullets.

That is about as good as it gets with off the shelf ammo.

Better yet, MUCH BETTER YET, roll your own with either 168 gr. Noslers or 165-175 gr. Sierra Game King or Match King or 175 gr. Berger VLD.

Work up some loads with BLC(2) and you will find that rifle to come alive.

I have a Remington 700P and I have really tried to get 155 gr. bullets to work. Different powder, different seating depth, different charge weights.

My gun doesn't like them. So I feed it what it does like.

.432 five shot groups at 100 yards tells me what I need to know.

There are many loads in current manuals that provide data for .308 and thise weight bullets.

If you do not reload, perhaps you can ask a friend to load some for you.

I am betting you will be happy with the Federal. It is good ammo.

Good luck! Let us know how it works out for you, please.
