Well I know my Remington model 7 in .308 does not like federal premium ballistic tip or BTSP with horrendous grouping. But with 150 core lock it did well but the tightest group was from monarch 150gr soft point ammo clover leafing it may be dirty have more muzzle blast but accurate just don't want to try performance on a deer afraid of it exploding or just not expanding. The 125 SST looks like a flat base.

I mainly want to work this load for a Ruger Hawkeye Compact for a small hunter so they do not develop bad habits but have faith in ammo as well. If works well I would shot as well in my model 7 or BLR. I'm done with Remington corelockt due to FTF, poor QC, and core separation and bullet just blowing up on a deer shoulder.
