[QUOTE="SDarkRage, post: 2782650, member: 3492"] Wow, nice research Swamp! That's some interesting info to know. My Savage Model 10 .308 HATED the Remington 150gr. yellow/green box ammo. I think my 12 gauge had a tighter pattern at 100 yards sadly enough. I swapped over to the Federal blue box and my groups shrank down to 1.25 - 1.5 moa at 100 yards. Much more reliable and dependable from what I noticed. My reloads with Norma brass, 168 gr MatchKings, BenchRest primers, and Varget powder was shooting 0.8" consistently (as long as I did my part anyway). So, for me, the Federals were a rather suitable cheap alternative when I needed ammo on the go. I try to avoid Remington ammo like the plague after my experiences. But to be fair, in hindsight my barrel was a supposed 1 in 10 twist but it repeatedly checked out at 1 in 9. It never liked any bullet lighter than a 168gr. [/QUOTE]
