F/TR Loads

Quick · Post by **Quick** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 12:03 pm

Ive seen some blokes in the USA who have started playing with the berger 215gr and 230gr for F/TR. I'd love to try them but cant justify getting a new barrel just to play with those two projies and not be able to really run anything else.

next time i get a barrel for the 308 i may try a 10 twist and just see what range of weights it shoots well.... i am guessing 215gr down to 155gr

Shaun, I spoke to these guys, and they are looking at heading back to the 185's
The heavier projectilces require better gun handling, as they stay In the barrel just that much longer.

Bigger is not always better.

Linda,

Thats interesting. It would have to be really stuff all extra time wouldnt it but I guess its enough to make a difference.

Interesting.....

Gents,

Has any one heard of or seen/used the hornady 180gr Amax in 30cal? It has a claimed BC of .580. I found it while I was going through shooter app. I can't find it on the hornady site or anywhere else?

What's your thoughts gents?
