while perusing the used guns at the store, i happened across a H&R Ultra in .308 for $179. it looked unused. temptation got the best of me and i bought it. well, i just got back from the range and the rifle shows promise. after shooting several rounds of surplus ammo to get the scope adjusted, i then cleaned the bore and shot a fouling shot at the 300yd 18" gong. after the report, there was the pleasant sound of lead hitting heavy metal. the next 3 shots were 1972 LC ammo that grouped 1" at 100 yds. hmm, i thought, lets see what it will do with my reloaded 165gr interbonds and varget powder. when working up a load, i only load up 2 rounds of each powder weight. i figure if the bullets don't come close to each other, why bother on that load. all 3 different loads placed bullets 1/2" or less apart. now to load up some more bullets and bring the chrony out.

Hey sounds good,let us know how it does with more loads.Been thinking of adding to my handi collection with a 308

Photo of this find would be nice?

here it is and a group i shot at 100yds. the wind was close to 30mph, but the group measures .68". 44gr of varget, match primers, 165gr interbonds, LC brass
