Ok gents, I tried searching with no luck. For those of you that use the southwest .308 loadings with 175smk, has the ammo been very consistent from box to box? Are they consistent in seating depths and powder charges? I just dont have time to reload like I used to and I still want range time with my beloved toys. Im really looking at buying a box to try in my stick. If it shoots well im just going to buy a bunch to hold me over for a while. I just want to be sure its going to be very consistent from box to box. Thanks gents.
 
I have shot several hundred rounds (received over a year ago) of the SW ammo you describe. 2 different lots were purchased and I found them to be very consistent out of my .308's - more consistent than FGMM 175's. Some folks have had recent issues with SW Ammo, but my personal experience has been positive.
