Fully prepared 308 ADI cases weight distribution

I wanna see the groups. Couldn't care less about all the other stats if it shoots like a trench scatter gun
I shot a session and the groups were not to my likening. I figured it should be a mechanical problem. Indeed, the scope rings screws were walking out. I went home, removed each screw one by one, added blue locktite and torqued each one to spec.

The best 3-shots group was a cloverleaf 0.3" at 100 yards. Load was 42gr Ram TAC under 175gr SMK at 2.808" in a Lapua case. Rifle cheapo actioned-barrel from Brownells, Howa 1500 22" sporter barrel.

You're on the right path, so just give going until it comes to an end and you're happy where you ended up or change powders and start all over.
