Has anyone had success ( 1.5 MOA ) or better with 30 Cal. cast & coated bullets out of either bolt guns or semi automatics {AR's, M1A's ect} ??
Thank you

Well....how bout a lever? Marlin 308 MX. Was working up a load and ran out of time but this is where I got.
These were at 100 yards, powdercoated and gas checked..I will start again in spring. As you should know, it's just to blame hot here to be testing.
I, personally, don't consider anything over 2 MOA ' acceptable' for ANY CF cartridge. My .308 M700 with its McGowan barrel will stay awfully close to MOA out to 300M (longest range distance currently available) and my '98 Krag and '43 Win Garand will come close to matching that...if I'm having a 'good day', of course...with iron sights!

What velocities are you looking to be at
I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 2200 with the 200's and 2350-2400 with the 165-170's not interested in giving up accuracy for the sake of speed

I'll start in the late fall, I have no desire to do anything in 90* heat w/ 90 % humidityWell....how bout a lever? Marlin 308 MX. Was working up a load and ran out of time but this is where I got.

I'm reminded of what Walter Brennan used to say in the TV series "The Guns Of Will Sonnett"

Yes, in 223 and 308 bolt guns.
