I have been having a terrible time getting my .308 Kimber 84M to shoot a 5-shot group consistently under 1.25"-1.5". I've tried 150 and 165 grain bullets, 3 different powders, and dozens of different loads. No matter what, all groups are nearly identical. Factory ammo shoots better. I was using the Lee beam scale that came with my Anniversary kit.
I was also loading some .30-30 the other day and ran out of bullets, so I put the powder in the cases and came back this evening with a new Frankfort digital scale. For comparison I checked each round and found that the Lee scale was on average .5+ than the Frankfort. Also, the extreme difference between charges ranged .4 +/-. I was aiming for 35 grains and some charges were between 35.4 and 35.8!
So, I'm going to try reloading some .308 with the new digital scale and see what happens.
Anyone ever have an experience like this?
