I’ll have to check my fired brass but I haven’t noticed any difference yet.
Ive always had good experiences with them.
If I find anything I’ll let everyone know.
DrMike, thank you so much for your time and effort!
I greatly appreciate it!
Being from NY, our elected officials almost passed a bill that would require non-lead bullets on public lands.
I have a great load for my .308 Win. using 150 gr. Accubonds, but I hunt on public quite a bit so I need to...
I’ve done a search a few different ways, and either I’m doing it wrong, or it hasn’t been done yet….
I‘m looking for Quickload data for .308 Win. using Varget and a Barnes 130 grain ttsx bullet, and a 20” barrel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If it’s too much trouble, please disregard...
You are getting some nice groups but I think I would try and see what comes from playing around with the numbers around 42 and 42.5
i think you can get it better.
have you shot it further than 100? That’s a consideration also. See what it does further down range if you can.
I finished sighting...
Yes you can.
but, you may want to try and shoot with that eye becoming the dominate one.
what I mean is if you're right handed but left eye dominate then try shooting left handed.
I am a retired PE teacher and a certified NASP archery instructor, and we found with our students that the majority...
I just loaded up my hunting rounds yesterday.
45 rounds of 150 grain, Nosler Accubonds, over 46 grains Varget, in a Starline piece of brass, sparked off with a 200 CCI large rifle primer.
gives me enough to sight in, and adjust my scope and then get me through the season with left overs for the...
That round is so fast!
im curious how it will perform on game?
I was thinking the other day about something similar.
there is a lot of talk how these bullets perform at distance due to it slowing down.
live been wondering how they perform close up, or as speeds like yours are going to be...
Finally got to the range on Monday.
got all set for test my loads for the 130 ttsx’s.
now as I stated above, I’ve been shooting 150 gn accubonds and my rifle was sited in for them.
my scope is a 1.75-5 x 32 so looking down too 111 yds the target is kinda small.
i shoot my first round and then...
I don’t shoot 165’s but I do shoot 150 grain Accubonds from my .308.
I get really good groups using 46 grains of Varget.
i get softball sized groups out at 305 yards.
not sure about further than that as that’s the limit at our range and that’s probably as far as I need to take a shot anyway.
I have a very accurate load for my .308 using 150 gn. Nosler Accubonds,
my situation is that the restrictive state of NYistan is considering going lead free on its public lands, so I may need the ttsx’s.
otherwise I would just stay with the Accubonds which I love.
I’m also going to run the 130 grain ttsx in my .308 Win.
I was reading your initial post and I was thinking “this is just what I want to see“, all the while inside my head I’m saying “please be using Varget, please be using Varget”!
Then I read BL-C2….
needless to say I’m using Varget for my...
Could you give us an idea of the other favorites?
I'm like you in the sense that “I shoot what bullet works best in a specific rifle”, so I would like to see if we agree on some of your other choices.
I’ve shot my share of Whitetail Deer with 150 gr. Accubonds out of my 30-06.
They are my favorite bullets and have no reason to switch except that the “Free“ state of new yorkistan is considering a switch to monolithic bullets on all state land.
I’ve only recovered two, and they both were about...
I have their 30-30, .308 Win, and 30-06.
I don’t think I’m going to use anything else.
I order it as soon as it says “back ordered” and I usually get a notice that it has shipped in about a week or so.
Thank you
Watched a bunch of videos on how others went about doing theirs, and a lot of pictures from different stock painters and copied those I liked best. I don’t think I’ve ever had an original thought of my own….
I really just don’t like the “black“ plastic look and this remedied that.
I painted my Tikka T3x also.
I didn’t even think to sand it to rough up the plastic so the paint would stick better.
I just cleaned mine with alcohol, let it dry, and painted away.
I used four colors. A dark brown, a little brown with a little more reddish, a forest green and a base coat of...
