Re: loads for 308 and 243
Accurate is relative gun to gun. You just have to use a manual & work from starting load up to where you get good accuracy & the load works well. Do you have a manual?

Re: loads for 308 and 243
I've found that the Sierra loading manual is a great place to start working up an accurate load using their components. They usually mention an "accuracy" load and a "hunting" load for each caliber/bullet weight combo. You can start with that load to work towards the best load for your particular gun.

Re: loads for 308 and 243
I don't load those calibers so can't help much but it sounds like you're doing pretty well by yourself.
