That sounds a little quick, based on the data I've seen. I ordered 100 rounds of Hornady 123gr SST ammo, and the reviewers on Midway seemed positive. It steps out at 2580 and at 300, the energy is about the same as ordinary 100gr .243 loads, almost 1200 footpounds. The Nosler calculator gives it a little more for some reason. The ammo was on sale for $20 a box, and isn't all that much more than rolling my own with new brass. Ought to hold me until I decide what dies to buy. I'm leaning towards a micrometer-type seater, since I like the one in the RCBS Competition die set I have for my .308, which I also have used for .30/06 loads.

BTW, your pig story is welcome. What bullet?


What fresh Hell is this?
