Noted - CBTO... Thx. I only have anecdotal evidence or experience as it relates to coppers and barrel life. I don't get a lot of fouling, but I also don't send a lot down range once I settle on a load. I think that the relief grooves may assist in decreased fouling. Maybe?

I have had pretty good results with TAC and I didn't play around with the jump at all. I have read that the Barnes monos like a big jump. I can try and dig up some of the photos of the test groups but they hovered around 1 MOA. My velocities were captured using a lab radar and my loads were...

I am a huge fan of the .308 Win. I have had great results with IMR-4064 and Sierra GKs but i see the cartridge now in a whole new light with lighter TTSXs. Seems almost too perfect for a whitetail load. Low recoil, great ballistics out to 400 and easy to load. It would be my favorite load if not...

Perfect. According to the Berger calculator they are marginally stable at 1000 FPS and comfortably stable at 2500 FPS. Thank you.

I may hijack my own thread. I originally wanted to create a sub load for the 7-08 using some bulk 160 Nos BT that I have but I have never loaded those as super sonic rounds in my rifle. My tikka is a 9.5 twist and I think they can stabilize those but I thought that starting with the 145 Speer...

It appears to be a flake type powder with a little more body than standard ball powder.

Missed the question. They are very quiet. Sounds like a pneumatic nail gun…

I believe so but would start on the lower end. I have also loaded some Nosler 160 BT with tight group but I am not sure if 1/9.5 will stabilize that weight projectile. I will probably test without the suppressor first…

I realize that this may be a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist but I thought I would post in case it helps someone. I was in search of a sub-sonic 7mm-08 load and couldn’t find what I needed. I used the Hodgdon data base that gave great info for 308 and 243. I have personally used the...
