New Projectiles in the Mail

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 01 10, 2018 •  [Post 1]

Got a box o bullets in the mail today. Ordered these based on a members recommendation..don’t need to mention who it was do I ? (wawhitey ;)..). Gonna try to get out this weekend and see how they group out of the Weatherby before I commit to them. Hopefully, this “is” the round I’ll be shooting this fall. Dean said his clan has consistently head shot fleas off big game critters at 501 yards out of their .308s with this load :).

According bonds fly very nicely. If they don’t group well it’s operator error.

No .300 saum, but several 458 SOCOM! Have to look into this.

What is the twist on your barrel?

165grn is a great weight for 308. Def let me know how it shoots for you!

Thanks Dean, that's why I like this forum... Lots of guys willing to share and help folks on their elk hunting journey. I need to thank the head cook and bottle washer for this place and send him a goodie :D
