If you reload them you might get even better groups.

Great, you'll be surprised at how much the group may shrink.

Be aware though that the Hornady cases are a bit soft so don't use hot loads.

Is this the same SPS that Remington sold a few years ago with the cheap marzipan stock? I bought a .308 SPS back then and there was no clearance between the barrel and stock. As it warmed up the grouping went wild.

Replacing the stock with an AICS fixed that problem :D

Its a new SPS Tactical with a Hogue overmould wobbly stock ! I have sanded out the barrel channel and it definatly doesnt touch anywhere but when its on bipod you can see the fore end flexing and to be fair its now grouping under 5p size groups with factory loads
