HBC Big Projectiles 308 Win

Post by loneranger »

Just starting to get into the FTR scene after shooting FS for some time, so I am enjoying it so far.
I found the 200.2X Bergers to be excellent, but I recently learned that the bloke who makes HBC projectiles is planning to start making larger pills for FTR - I don't have any specific details as yet, nor do I know when they will be in production, but it will be interesting to see what comes of this.

Ken Melgaard who makes Copperhead bullets has a 200+ gr option in the works as well.

His bullets are very well regarded amongst BR and fly shooters.

Will be good to have more Aussie made options on the market, if the bullets are competitive we should be buying them!

HBC have been talking about making a heavier 30 cal for years.... 5 at least, let’s hope it comes true.

Just hope they are better than the 155’s. They went from winning a lot of shoots here to nobody being able to stop the random fliers with them. Hopefully something jump friendly with a BC at least of the 200 hybrid.
