After finding a good load with 165 gr bullets a couple weeks ago I decided to give the Nosler 150 gr BT a go in my 308 today. Below are the results.

That exclamation is exactly the purpose of my "testing"! I may add a little more powder and see if it does a little better. Due to magazine restriction Im at my limit on bullet seating!

That’s some good shooting. Maybe try seating the bullet a little deeper to tighten up your group. If it were me I’d try a group at 2.810”.

Yes sir, not bad performance for powder that's 35 years old. Goes to show if you "take care" of powder it'll last a looong while.

Excellent work. Might get it a little tighter or call it good go hang some steel and bang away. I’ll bet once you have your come ups with that load you’ll bang an 8 or 10 inch plate every time at 400 yards.
