Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Found My 308 Win Load

Interesting bit of history.

Early on, I hand loaded my accurized pre 64 M70 FW .308 and was getting good accuracy with 5/8 inch 100 yard groups with 150 grain bullets.

Then Hornady came out with their Light Magnum and it was as good or better, so I stopped hand loading and went hunting- never regretted the change.
Still shooting the Hornady ammo and a box of 20 lasts a few years as there is no need to waste ammo plinking on the rifle range. Also been many years since I messed with the scope sight adjustments.
