OK I found a boolit and load that shoots into an inch or thereabouts at a hundred yards in my 308 Savage. It's a 180gr flat point gas check sized to 3095 and lubed with 50/50 alox beeswax (Javalina). Using 17grs of old 2400 and a winchester LR primer it really lays them in there nicely.
Today I took a few of the rounds out on the patio and set up my Chrony expecting around twelve hundred fps or thereabouts.
Surprise!
1. 1728
2. 1709
3. 1698
4. 1721
5. 1718
I'm very happy with this load.
temp was 89* f
Chrony was set up fifteen feet from the muzzle
