I'm still burning W748 with Nosler 125 grain AB seconds. Should be good to go since I have an 8 lb jug.

Good job! So what method worked for you?

I've been using 125 grain Accubonds in a Model 7 .308 for the last few years. Works pretty good on deer and coyotes from what I can tell. Not screaming fast out of the short barrel but if they run they don't make it far.

Bushman, I see pistol powders frequently at Powder Valley. Shipping and HAZMAT decrease the savings but at least you still have the powder in hand.

Speer, everything I've shot them out of was plenty accurate and effective on game for my purposes. Also think they have the best loading manuals as well.

All I keep on hand for my shotguns. Best I can remember the close shot was seven yards and headshot was 15 yards. Both were cylinder bore remington 870.

Saw Winchester Defender Close Range copper plated #2 loads in the gun store this weekend. They had them both in 20 and 12 gauge showing 1145fps. May be something new since I hadn't seen them before.

I have used the 200 grain Sierras with Reloder 7 with good results on deer.

All whitetail: Long Guns: 223 Rem, 243 Win, 6.8 SPC, 308 Win, 30-06, 12 Gauge slugs Pistols: 30-30 Contender, 30-30 AI Contender, 375 Win Contender, 357 Mag, 44 Mag Muzzle Loaders: 50 Cal inlines, 54 Cal Renegade Archery: Compound Bow, Compound Crossbow, Recurve Crossbow

I run a very similar bullet made with a mold made by Accurate. I've shot them out of two different .44 Mag pistols using 2400 and H110. I prefer the 2400 since it has a lower muzzle blast in my opinion. They've been used on whitetails and coyotes. We've never had one stop even on quartering...

I use W748 in a 30-30AI with good results.

My .308 is not very heavy and I don't shoot very far where I hunt so I settled on the 125 grain Accubond, CCI LR primer with W-748 power. Gets roughly 2945 out of a 20" barrel and kills pretty good on coyotes and white tails.

I've had good luck with 748 and the 125 grain AB in a 20" barrel. Have killed deer and coyotes from in your face to 150 yards without issue.

That mix also makes a killer meat loaf......

Thanks for the info guys......Sounds like I'm on the right path with annealing.
