I have a .244 Rem 40-XB that I bought back in the early 70's. It came from the factory with (3) 5 shot targets with an aggregate score of .35". Those three groups were shot by Remington using 60 gr. Sierras and 3031.

3031 is good stuff, just doesn't meter that smoothly. To me, I like Varget with 75's in my .22-204 and TAC in my .223's. TAC meters slicker than either of the other two, Varget, better than 3031.
