Isn't that your wife's rifle? Doesn't she get credit for shooting those nice groups? ;-)
Not bad results with the XBR powder. A friend of mine swears by this powder because it works decently in his progressive press ... he's too lazy to load 50+ charges by hand. It would be interesting to see how the XBR fares with 178 BTHPs.
I loaded some up XBR for my wife to try out in her 308 a couple months ago. The Varget shot better, but the XBR was faster (~ 100 fps). I'm reluctant to mess with the load she has though (~ 45.8 Varget with 168s) because it's easily a 1/2 MOA rifle with that load and I've been warned, by her, not to mess with something that's not broke.
