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.

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. 😎

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

The LRX design is based on that bullet.

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