    Well after looking for almost a year i finally found a Remington 700 SS 5R in .308. I topped it off with a Leupold VX-L 6.5-20 x 56 and took it out and shot it yesterday. Loaded up 45 gr of varget with 165 gr SGK and shot this group at 200 yards. Not bad for the first load...

    For the first load, I'd say not bad at all !!!

    I assume if you shot at 100 yards, we'd only see one hole....................
