Just have been working out the 308 cal, M1a, load that would be best for accuracy and light on the gun and it's parts. Spent most of the day at the range, really nice temp and no wind and no one else to compete with for a good bench. So, just happened onto two boxes of Berger, 185 grain, match bullets for the 308 cal, and loaded them up with new Lapua brass, and added 40 gr of IMR 4895 with CCI primers and what the devil, small groups, repeatedly at the one hundred and two hundred targets. I am now very happy to have this 20 year old rifle in my safe after all this time. Other bullets and loads of powder did not shine like this combination. I really think the Bereger's made the difference here. Thanks to Walt and all for years of making the bullets.
