[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2930035, member: 15054"] Want to really blow your mind start shooting at different distances with different loads. I have some loads that are my 50 yard loads for my .308. Then there are loads that look excellent at 100 yards under, .25" many times .. but that load goes to crap at 200 yards.. lucky to keep it on an 8x11.5 paper. Then there is my go to load for hunting .75" at 100 yards..Not impressive.. but it shoots that same small group at 200. So the moral of the story is. Do not settle on a load that looks good at 50 or 100 if you plan on shooting it at different distances. And try your loads at cold temps, like below freezing and also at higher temps ..around 70.. see if the load stays together. I had some varget loads and 60gr bullets and 69gr bullets that looked awesome at temps around 20f. get up to 70-88 and they were horrible.. from all touching to all in a 2". Not horrible if 2" will get the job done. [/QUOTE]
