[QUOTE="infoman jr., post: 4386259, member: 2046"] I loaded up some match ammo for my .308 bolt gun recently and got to try them out today. I worked up in half-grain increments to book max (I need to go higher). The sighter target at the bottom was shot with the facory equivalent of what I'm loading - Barnes Precision Match 175gr which had noticeably higher recoil. The cold-bore shot was to the right, and the second and third shots were touching. It's been a great load for this gun. I'm loading 175gr Barnes Match Burners over Varget in ADG cases with CCI BR2 primers. The shots were made as follows: 12345, 54321, 12345 cool 678910, 109876, 678910. Group 2 is obviously very good, but I suspect there is a node somewhere around group 8. The first two shots of that group were touching, and I suspect the barrel was getting a little warm which may have skewed the third shot. I'll load around target 2 and target 8 for my text go round.
