    When I had my 308 I was trying to find a factory load it would shoot. Ended up being the weird looking S&B with the strange looking stepped pill. It shot that stuff so well it would be the only rifle I didnt bother handloading for

    The brass might be harder than a hard thing if not annealed,I chucked the s&b cases I had for that reason.
