Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 165AB vs 168BT as an all-around 308 load

I know i could flip a coin probably in terms of on game performance...

accuracy wise those of you who have shot both, which was easier to get sub-moa?

any on game feedback from either in 308?

the 168BT has a BC of .490 which i kinda question it being that high but if it is thats a nice BC

The 165AB and 165BT shoot almost the same POI with the same powder charge in my Gradous 308. The BT seems to group slightly better and more consistant while the AB always seems to have a third shot flyer. The flyer seems to be 1/2 from the first two shots so the group is still less than 3/4" overall. I would have no problem using either to "fill the ark".

I now use the 155 scenar.

Thanks... I know the scenar has a great BC and scenarshooter has tested them on everything

Why the switch?

On average the BT's will shoot better the the AB's. In some instances I've had the same 3rd flyer on the AB's as well.
Unless I really need the bonding, I stick with the BT's.

I just don't see a 168bt coming unglued a 308 win velocities even at 20 yards right on the poin of any shoulder
