I got the DSG 11VT in .308 a few weeks ago. I finally got to testing some loads today. I've only tried the one bullet I have at this point, but it seems to be a keeper. It shot bad at the lower end of the charges, but as I went up I could see it getting better. Past a certian point, the groups began to open again, so I know where to continue with fine tuning.
At 44.0gr Varget, I got a 5 shot group of .473". At 43.5 I got .574" At 44.5 it opened up to 1.192".
I'm going to try 43.7 and 44.2, but I know I'm real close. Berger's or Sierra's might shoot tighter, but the Noslers are much cheaper. If they hold sub 1/2" MOA, I'm calling it a done deal and moving to the 500yd line. Happy happy happy :)
