[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2525563, member: 15054"] I found a trend with these 168 A-Max bullets in my .308 savage. The further away from the lands i seat them the bigger my groups get.. 42.5gr varget and .005" off the lands (2.828OAL) gave me my best 208 yard 3 shot group today in this wind. The 3 shot measured .462" Some more 42.5gr loads seated .010" further from the lands(2.818") shooting the same place opened it up a little to .750" group discounting the flier i pulled that is 2.1" away. 6 shots total 43gr to 45gr varget opened the groups, getting 1.3"-1.7" at 208 yards 3 shot groups I tried 4064 but most were mid to upper loads same as the 1.3-1.7 varget loads. At 100 yards the 43-45gr loads printed in the .8" area. I only had 2 loads for a total of 6 rounds at the lower level of 42.5gr..so did not try them at 100 yards. So these like to go around 2500fps instead of mid to upper 2600 in my gun. I tried 2.809 and 2.818 and 2.828.. the last being best in my gun. [/QUOTE]
