Kjump,
Maybe your barrel is too long.
My shorty '06 loves the 147 grain FMJBTs steel core bullets, either Lake City or my reloads with pulled/resized bullets. Both the 06 & 308 barrels have 1:10 twist, wonder why the 308 doesn't like the lighter bullets? Also, I have a 308 that was rechambered to 308x444 and it shoots 150 grain SPs, flat base, just fine.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
