I had some generic loads I built for previous .308 I had to go through so I figured sight gun in with them so I didn't have to do it with test loads. Well got it zeroed in and shot numerous groups all under 1". This 5 shot group was by a 16 year old. He hasnt shot rifles very much. So just showing off his skills. We then took it out to 650yds at a 5"x18" branch laying out at the end of my sendero. First shot was 1' low and 1' left. After readjustment 3 shots bounced the branch around. Then I put Jacob (16) back behind it and he nailed it 3 out of 3 times. Couldn't be happier!! Ready to do some load development!  2 outside shots were sight in this is a 5 shot group!

Looks like the "sweet spot" is real close.

Heck!! You're "warming up" shots are better than my "zeroed" shots!!!
