Re: Temp test: AR Comp vs. Varget (308 Win.) + 223 Rem
I use hornady 150 gr bt with H4895 for my garand that shoots as well as factory ammo (federal amer eagle for garand). I bet their 55gr bt would get you there if you found a powder your gun likes (mine does well with reloader 15) although i am loading 70 gr loaded mag length and shooting 0.6 moa.
Are you crimping? I do not crimp even for my m1 - as i cannot trim consistently enough to crimp comsistent. +/- 2 mil trimming. Crimping is more important for MGs. I have not had problems with umcrimped ammo - u just need to use quality bullets so the case tension is there.
