These are 5 shot groups at 107 yards with my Remington 700 in .308. I was trying some 165 Sierra HPBT and Hornady 168gr HPBT. I just used a middle of the road powder charge for each and spent alot of time prepping my brass. I was smiling ear to ear. I've always been a semi-auto kind a guy and I'm just getting into this accuracy thing. It is pretty addictive!

37 grains of Varget? I'm using 45 in both of my .308's. Or is that in grams, as I am guessing you live in Canada?

while it would appear to be a good load I would think you might try a true ladder test. In addition you can hide a elephant at 100. go to 300 and see what is happening.

Re: Lucky guess??
I am planning on doing a ladder test after the snow melts. There is about 3 feet of snow on the range and 100 yards is as far as it has been plowed out. Our local range is 300 yards....is a ladder test effective enough at this distance? I read somewhere that 300 to 500 is the optimal distance.

Very nice job especially if you're just starting out. Keep it up. My last two rifles shot best with Varget & AMAX, great stuff.
