I'm not sure about the post above with the 2.276" OAL, but my load is at 2.815" OAL with an ogive of 2.19".
Im running this in a .308 ar with 44gr of varget. Great results, and by far my favorite bullet out of my rifle. </div></div>
Can you post your targets, would love to see the MOA youre getting. </div></div>
Here are a couple pics I could find where I confirmed my load. These are five round groups, but I normally shoot multiple 5 round groups in stead of 10 round groups. I'm not an exceptional shooter, so I consider the best I am capable of at the time.

A shot of my brass after it's been fired with this load. A little hot as you can tell by the primers, but no extractor or ejector marks are visible.
ETA: A couple more pics I found.

It may not be apparent from the pics, but I have been shooting this same load for the last year. It is the only bullet I shoot anymore although I have been thinking of going with the BTHP 178gr.
