In my 20" heavy barrel, 30g Winchester 748 behind either a 123g SMK or 123g Lapua Scenar in both Lapua and Hornady cases with a CCI 450 primer produces .5" groups for me consistently at 100 yards. The same load in the Wolf/PPU brass still produces .75" groups at 100 yards. I get fliers in both, but I'm new to precision rifles so I'm pretty sure the fliers are my error not the load.
For comparison, the Hornady factory ammo produces 3/4 to 1.25" groups for me at 100 yards. This factory ammo groups about 1" high and 1" to the right of my handloads.
I have a box of 123g AMAX bullets, and I haven't been able to get them to group under 1" with any of the powder I have tried. I've tried W748 and BLC2 (and maybe TAC orH335, but I don't have my notes with me). Sounds like I'm going to have to get some 8208 to use with them.
