Just the other day I ran 15 rounds through one of my .223's at 300 and 500 meters, then shot a 48/50 - 5V's with the sling'n'irons at 500.
The cheap stuff was steel cased Wolf 55 grain FMJ and my match ammo i was shootin was loaded with 80.5 grain Bergers

I had an issue when shooting barnes after partitions, and between old CIL and federal as well. Groups more than doubled in that 308 win. Cost me a fair bit of wasted ammo, cleaning and swearing. Someone on here told me about it, and they were right. Now it’s one load per rifle and no wasted shots. As always YMMV
