Mine liked Remington (express coreloct) and Winchester (gray box power point), and shot almost as well with Federal partitions. Did horrible with Barnes, and with anything tipped. No clue why.

FWIW, I tried some Federal 140 gr Trophy Bonded Bearclaw and it wouldn't feed in my M84 7-08.

I bought my 7-08 84M Classic in 2004. It's a two position safety with better than average wood.
It has never shot factory ammo very good and even spent two trips back to Kimber for some work.
I finally just started loading for it after I got a couple hundred fire formed cases from it. 42 to 43 grains of Varget with a 140 grn Sierra Game King has give me consistent sub 2" groups of 5 or 6 shots.
It's a love hate relationship, I love the way the rifle handles but it wouldn't bother me if it would shoot just a bit better.

The cheap basic Federal ammo, don't remember what kind, 140 gr bullets were the only thing that would group less than 2" in my montana 7mm08. They would group around 1.5". None of my handloads would even do better than that. I think the 7mm08 is just a tough round to get to shoot accurately in a Kimber montana. The 308's just don't seem to be as difficult on average to get to shoot accurately.
