I like this bullet in my .30/06 as it will reliably stay under MOA and has been used on big game up to Red Stag.
In the .30/06 I load 60gn of IMR 4350 and Fed 210's for groups between .638" and .951"
In the .308 Winchester, it also shot very well with my initial testing using 44gn of Varget and CCI 200 primers for 2593fps in my LR308 and grouped .374" at 50 yards where as the '06 loads were shot at 100 yards. I still have to test out at the longer ranges with the LR308.
Ive had the same experience. I'd also add that this bullet also shoots very well in my 308 Norma mag and my 300WBY. The op just needs to find the right combo of powder and oal. By the way, how far off the lands is he running them?
BSA,
I do not measure this distance. Tried it on a few rifles once I learned it was fashionable, but it provided no value once another rifle of the same chambering is used, so dropped it cold and reverted to setting OAL by the shape of the group which is decades proven to be a superior method as it takes into account the "current" bullet shape you are working with where manufacturers sometimes retool and slight changes occur in bearing surface and ogive shape from batch to batch.
A person needs to know where the bullet is at in relation to the lands. If you do not know and check this, you are a dumb azz. As for the bullets he's using, generally they like to be ran closer to the lands. I will start at .020" off and go from there. Accuracy will generally suffer, the deeper into the case you go with these Hornady BTSP interlocks. If it were a TTSX or LRX, it would be a different story, so in essence, you need to read my first sentence...
