The 180gr XTP and HAP have the same POI for me but...
The terminal performance on water buckets are quite different.!
The HAP went through five one gallon jugs and stopped inside the back of a five gallon jug. The XTP stopped inside the 2nd one gallon jug. All at 25 yards.
But what was the goal? I dont understand what he could possibly ever do that elephant? Bite his ankle?
Did the badger wakeup and say... " you know what, I'm gonna see how badazz i am."... he found out.
I had a barrel order with pacnor when they burned. I felt so bad for the family ( outstanding people by the way) that I just didn't bother to call about my measly barrel when they just lost their entire livelihood.
A month goes by and Kathy calls me to tell me that my barrel was one of five...
I will.
I got the cases and dies. My barrel will be a few weeks out.
Here's a sized case with a 140gr Hybrid Hunter.
I cant wait it shoot some of these cases so I sized and trimmed several pieces to 308 winchester and loaded with 155gr HPBT and Benchmark.
I have a 26" SS 10 twist 5R Savage Large shank barrel coming. Also a few hundred pc of Sig 277 Fury (6.8×51) Hybrids ( steel case head, brass body) .
I'm also have dies coming.
I can not find any data on this cartridge. I plan on shooting 140gr and 150gr bullets. I'm betting H4350 or H4831SC...
