308 Win. Sub 220gr RN

[RL338]

Back around the first of the year I toyed around with the Hornady 220gr RN and TiteGroup for subsonic loads. Not that I could finally have time to hit my range , I tried them out.
My S2 Vanguard has a 1:12 twist and I found that to be a handicap. They impacted 18.5” low on my 208gr A-max zero. The holes are not quite round. The second group was showing a more egged holes. They didn’t group bad , actually better than when I shot them at full velocity some time back.

Very interesting, wonder if they would expand at all in jugs?

When I get a chance I’ll be running them into water pails.

Forgot to add the Garmin photo for the first group.


Today I ran one into water pails , and as expected no expansion on the 220gr RN. Found in the 4th 5gal pail.


For the heck of it I ran a 130gr TTSX into 5gal pails also. Petals were in the first pail and the shank stopped between the 2nd and 3rd pail.
