LC case 42.0 IMR-4064 WLR Sierra 165 HPBT: 20 rounds - 5 shot groups at 100 yards = 0.625" smallest 1.250" largest (I'm impressed by this load and will be trying it again)
LC case 41.6 IMR-4064 WLR Hornady 150 FMJBT: 5 shot group at 100 yards = 0.562" <<< having a good day?
LC case 38.0 IMR-4064 WLR Hornady 178 A-Max: 5 shot group at 50 yards = 0.562" Haven't tried at 100 yet.
These measurements are center to center and done with a tape measure. So when you see two with the same groups? They're rough measurements - not done with a caliper and converted to thousandths. 0.562" = 9/16". I ladder test at 50 yards followed at 100 with whatever won. I'm sometimes surprised at either how badly I shoot the next time OR something in the load simply sucked further out. Good luck and trust your reloading manuals more than some guy on the internet

Thank you for the input webfarmer (For sure I will not hold you responsible for any action I do! lol). I was going to use this as a starter from the Hodgdon website:
Poweder: IMR 4064
Bullet Diam .308"
C.O.L. "2.800"
Starting load Grs. 41.5 (ft/s) 2,500 45,200 PSI
Max load Grs: 45.6C (ft/s) 2,728 59,500 PSI
might be a slower because this was from a 24" barrel on there site.
When I get loading I'll post the shots I make at 100 yards!
