308 loads

I finally made it to the range to test out some 125 grain Accubonds and NBTs. 3100 fps out of a 20” barrel is gonna be some bad deer medicine.

Gonna order some berger 175 gr vld's for mine soon .

I’m not a Berger fan. Even punching paper, I prefer SMKs. I’ve got a 165 grain Accubond load for this rifle and confirmed my drops today.

I’ll either take the 308 or my 7-08 on my next elk hunt. They’re both dialed in and ready to go. Just waiting on a tag. 😎

Got a pile of Sierra's,accubonds,eldx.trying the 175 eld's don't care for lightweight bullets for cartridge loads myself .
Or short barrels😎

They’re handy for me in the mountains.

Game kings are bad medicine.

I'm liking the 168 grain Barnes TSX. They seem to work really well so far and they go deep.

Those are supposed to perform at a lower velocity than the 165s. I’ve never used them, but they seem interesting, especially, at 308 type velocities.

I've been tempted to try some of the tac-tx designed for the 300 Blackout in my 308 win. They work really well in the Blackout, perfect x bullets expansion!

They work great...

In my 300 Weatherby. 😊

I thought the Barnes LRX were the lower velo ones

The magnum police will be here shortly to write your citation for being under gunned.

Dave points out them Finns&Swedes kill moose with the 6.5x55 every year.

LRX is correct.

I've got a box of each 125 AB and BT to load for a 308 but haven't gotten around to it yet.

The lrx does have a lower velocity requirement, but so does the 168grain(308).

The 168 gr 308 TTSX was the original LRX. The LRX design is based on that bullet.

My son and I shoot 125gr nosler ballistic tips in our 308s... deer murderers

I didn't know that about the 168's. Thanks! That's good to know.

I know you aren't a fan of Bergers but the 155 vld, 43.5 gr of Varget, 20 thousandths off have done me well for years. Works well on shoulders or lung shots.
