    VihtaVuori or Retumbo for .338 Lapua Mag

    M1A - Full Length Sizing

    Factory Federal GMM Question

    Re: Factory Federal GMM Question Turbo54, you have a fine rifle and must be a great shooter. I have personally found the 7.62 marked stuff to be less accurate. I don't claim to be anything but an average shooter but my rifle can shoot pretty well.

    Winchester Primers to Blame?

    Re: Winchester Primers to Blame? I wouldn't suspect Win primers. They are shooting about .5MOA in my 20" 308 as well. I would try adjusting seating length first.

    i need a new trigger for my 700

    Re: i need a new trigger for my 700 The x pro is not the way to go, mine had very inconsistent pull weights. +1 on a rifle basix, an older Remington trigger or a Timney, those are all better options.

    Range Report Superperformance 178 .308

    Re: Superperformance 178 .308 It could be the 178 Amax bullet they use. My rifle hates them. I have found them to shoot about the same as yours. FGMM is definitively a good baseline.

    Factory Federal GMM Question

    Re: Factory Federal GMM Question The 7.62 is not the same as the FGMM 175. It is slower and not as accurate. The brass does have crimped in primers as well. It is fine for plinking but I wouldn't try to use it for any serious accuracy.
