That is what I am hoping to get out of my Mod 94 winnie 30-30. The best I have been able to do has been been 3 in with a 150 gr GC boolit, and 5 in with a 180 GC boolit

Best Wishes

that's a good group...but i would be hard pressed to claim this as the ultimate 308 load. 45nut and myself shot similar groups at a cast boolit shoot in winnie mucka several years back. the best i can figure is that is about 0.842...think nut shot smaller and i would have been about the same.

you should post this on the cast boolit load page, as it is a good load .
