Thread: What Would You Expect?

My two cents... I've really struggled to find accuracy from any of a wide range of factory ammo in 7-08.
Yet when I owned .308 in my twenties, completely different story.
I do wonder if all factory ammo has been dialled back with additional safety margin in COAL in line with SAAMI in recent years, as they all fear being sued if something goes wrong in any of the scores of mainstream rifle manufacturers.
Whatever the reason, I was blown away by the difference between my best factory load target shooting and my first reloaded targets. Fed Fusion was probably the most accurate in my 7-08 at around 1.2" groups. First reloaded Nosler Accubonds 7.1mm!
My advice to anyone seeking accuracy (as opposed to adequate hunting shots), novice or experienced shooters...don't waste much time with factory ammo getting your new kit on to paper, just get onto reloads asap.
