I have a Rem.660, 20" barrel that I've loaded for many years. I have had good velocity and accuracy with IMR4831, CCI Br2 primers and 95gn Partitions. The load is max (from old manuals) but safe in my rifle. Muzzle blast is a little annoying but this load has been effective on deer and antelope...
Thanks.
That was my approach. I too have some old 180gn Solid Base bullets left.
I also had good performance from the 165gn Solid Base on deer but they are long gone.
I have alot of experience with the old Solid Base bullets and Ballistic Tips.
I was given a box of .308, 168gn. Solid Base Hollow Points and have little recollection of their characteristics. Any experience with these bullets, particularly if used for hunting or target?
