Kimber 308 and 165's?

I picked up a Kimber Super America in 308 Win today. Took it out with some 165 gr Rem PSPCL's and 43 grains of RL-15 and got ~1.5" groups at 100 yds. Any suggestions for what to try next? I'll probably load up some with 42 gr and some with 44 gr's RL-15...any other powders recommended? Thanks.

Good hunting,

Andy

I would go up and down in powder, as well as try a couple of different 165gr bullets.

In several different 308's I have found the following 165 gr bullets to be very accurate in many different 308's.

165 Sierra HPBT, 165 Sierra Spz, 165 Nosler Ballistic Tip, and the 165 Nosler Partition.
