Other people have said the same thing.
I've never had it shoot worse than 1.5moa. The lot # I have left all shoots into moa or less in a Remington 700 Varmint.
However, there was a reason for selling this stuff off to the surplus markets. They very likely did tests on everything they had in storage at the time and found enough discrepancies to list it as unsuitable for issue.
When all is said and done, the stuff was sold off at the value of the components.
I have a friend that picked up a half dozen cases. It was all the early BERDAN primed stuff. Like you, even in very accurate rifles he couldn't get it to shoot. He pulled down everything he had left, kept the powder and bullets, but sold off the cases at a scrap dealer.
He found the powder used to be extremely consistent burning in the cases he used it in and liked it. He used some of the fmj bullets as well but they weren't accurate enough for his standards, maybe because they all measured .307 diameter by his measuring device?
I also picked up a bunch of the powder that was offered to a select few, and ended up getting two types. A BALL type, very similar to W748 and an EXTRUDED type which was identical to H4895. The powder came from surplus Hirtenberger ammunition which had been pulled down for the components and was sold off. I heard from the fellow pulling them down that there was an issue with the primers.
