    Surprise, AZ
    I only had 25 rounds loaded up for my 308 TRG 22 that I have use in matches. It took me 5 rounds to zero the AIAW folder. That left me 4 5 shot groups. If 4 shot groups were the norm I would be a decent shooter. I blew one shot in each group. Groups were measured with exteme edge to edge distance then 0.3 subtracted. That geave me 2 0.7" 5 shot 100 yard groups and 2 0.45" groups. Average for all 4 0.575"
    I still have to get use to the trigger as it is different from my TRG 22. Also hoping as barrel breaks in i'll get better groups if I do my part. Range conditions Raw with 5-10 mph winds 20 dergee angle down range

    I was using the 168 grain SMK's with Lapua brass. Same load I use in my TRG 22.

    Thanks Jason, I will take you advise as I find the factory setting has to much take up and a little to heavy. As of this moment I like the trigger on my TRG 22 better.

    The trigger on the TRG will always feel better. The AI trigger is very good though and it should be "good enough" that it is a non factor in accuracy.

    These are hand loads tailored for another rifle. Try 155 Scenars .010" off the lands in front of 46.5 grains of Varget.

    It doesn't matter how far off the lands you are with the Scenars. My rifle shot the same @ .070" off as it did .020" in the lands.
