I have been shooting a new bonded tipped bullet in my 15.75" center-grip 308 Winchester, XP-100 for a upcoming antelope hunt.
Speer of all things...172 grain Impact bullet.
With a chosen load and seated deep I still shot around half MOA off of a Harris bipod and small field bag, and it shot great out to 500 yards today.
Velocity was around 2414 fps.
I think once I get serious loading for it I would expect 1/3 MOA or maybe a tad better, but I am happy with half MOA for my purposes
Then before we left, we had loaded with Varget in 3/10's grain increment at 25 thou off of the lands, and kept hitting the 10" steel at 500 yards, but having to remove more MOA, as I went.
Ran the MV up to 2555 fps. No sticky ejection, no indention's on brass, but primers were flattened some.
They make a couple more of these, including a 140 .264, but it unavailable currently
From their website below:
"The Speer® Impact bullet blends tough, molecularly bonded construction with a high ballistic coefficient. Its groundbreaking Slipstream™ polymer tip provides a perfect aerodynamic meplat, and its hollow core initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs. The combination results in deep penetration at mid-range, as well as extreme accuracy and consistent low-velocity expansion at long distances."
