I took my Howa 1500 .308 to the range today.. And had about 45 rounds of factory ammo I bought a while back before I started reloading and some of my reloads.. At 200 yards I couldn't hit anything I wanted with the factory loads and was starting to question my scopes zero.. Then I got out my reloads and stacked em on the X.. I never really thought that I would get that kind of reaction out of factory rounds..
