As the guys said nice group.
I'm glad you found something it likes finally.
I know from experience that can be one of the most frustrating things in the world.
Spend serious coin to buy a good piece and then have it not like anything you try in it.

Have you tried Varget powder yet.
All of my .308s from my 700 5r to my 716 Sig really seem to like it with a 168 or 175 Sierra Match King and 43.5 to 45 grains and Win WLR primers

Varget's good stuff. I went to RL15, because for a long while there was no Varget to be had. When I got the opportunity, I bought ten years worth of RL15, not knowing what future supply situations would be.

I understand completely I did the same with Varget.
The only problem with buying a 10 year supply is when that supply does run out the price on it's replacement always scares me to death LOL

By then I will be 75+. Not worried about it.

Glad you found something that worked. I've never gotten there with my T. Best group is 1 5/8" with 168 gr SMK, 4895 and LC brass. I can actually shoot a tighter group with my M16 using iron sights than my T with a scope. It's very discouraging. My chamber is a little deep so I can't get close to the lands at 2.80. I thought about returning it to Armalite but technically I've violated the warranty by using reloads.

You can get better groups. Mine did better with certain ammo. The trigger in these rifles can dictate their performance. I didnt get what I wanted out of mine until I got the right trigger.

(fixed it for ya. Sharkey :wave: )

Next time, after you use the "add" tab to load the photo, look for an "insert" button that will appear after the file has loaded. Place your cursor wherever you want the photo to land in your post and hit "insert" and you'll be all set. It will show up full sized just like now...

A recurring theme with my groups is three shots close, or even touching, then two that open it up, sometimes two inches or more. It may be me, but it didn't feel like it.
