Went back to the Remy's to see if it was the scope. Dead on accurate. Are the light mag loads this bad on accuracy? Whats your guys experience on these? Any info would be great. Tx in advance!
The 308 light mags I tested in my rifle years ago were faster, and printed almost 2" for 5 shots.
This was from a gun that with hand loads that were about 100FPS slower would print 5 shots .5 or better most days.
I never had the gun shoot over 3/4" with handloads.
recoil was really noticeable as well....
