Default RANGE REPORT ON REM. 788 .308 WIN.

I shot my Rem 788 .308win. for the first time today. I shot the first group of Winchester Power Points 150 gr. and a 3 shot group measured .73". I was very pleased. The first two shots cut holes. The second group was Sierra Spitzers handloaded with RL-15 45.5 gr. and a 150 gr. bullet . They measured right at 1" . The third group was with Nosler Ballistic Tips 150 gr. on top of RL-15 45.5 gr. They measured 1.25" . All groups were 3 shot groups and were fired one after another in 35 degrees temperatures. I did not alllow time for the barrel to cool between shots, but it only warmed somewhat anyway. I was trememdously pleased with the results considering it was the first time shooting it. What do you all think. By the way all 9 shots hit the same POI. They were all within a 2 inch circle. Thanks
