I finally made it back to the range today,yee-haw! It was 25* and a little breezy,but I am pleased to report that my Savage 10FP put Georgia Arms 168 gr. BTHP into -1" groups at 100 yards more than a few times. :biggrin: That is noticeably better than their 150 gr. FMJ,which was ok but not great (average +/- 2" @ 100 yards). But if I had a .308 battle rifle I'd definitely load up on the FMJ.

I wasn't sure how good they'd be,but I am impressed.

I wish I brought my camera,I was the only guy there at first, and the snow was beautiful. Deer tracks everywhere too!

Your'e Nuts way to cold .. Glad the shooting was more to your liking

I didn't think it was too bad outside. I bundled up but I don't like to shoot with gloves on (cheap jersey gloves = no grip) so only my hands got cold.

Here's eight rounds of the FMJ,not a spectacular grouping as you can see,with one low flyer...

...And my last four-shot group of match ammo.
1.1" with a hot barrel and cold hands. :biglaugh: I actually got better groups,but I kept putting stickers over them so I can recycle my Shoot-N-See targets:

Not too bad,eh? And here's the rifle I did it with,a Savage 10FP with a stock from a BVSS. Way better than the stock that came with it.

Update!

Shot the same ammo from the same rifle today. A friend and I got the same results as before...at 100 yards, FMJ held about 2" and Match 168 grain was hovering at an inch or better.

If I was going to shoot at competitions or past 100 yards I'd definitely spend a little extra on the match-grade ammo. The FMJ is probably "good enough" but I like to get the most out of my firearms.
