I like the old girl, but if she doesn't settle down, she's gonna have to stay home.




I think I've been shooting 165 gr fed fusion in my 88 in .308

I believe the bullet is a boat tail soft point.

I use an old mid 60's leupold 3-9x40 fine flex mounted very low in a weaver tip off and I make 1" groups with it on cool barrel.

I've never tried heavy bullets in mine, not sure what the twist is, never checked.

You sumbich... I was gonna leave the 88 at home today.. Now I have to find a case for it.

lol.



Edit, I just found my clip for the 88, it has a few in it.

Brass is remington, these are 150gr core-lokt.

I know it likes the 165 gr fusion too but apparently the last time I sighted it in I had some 150 core lokts

IIRC the POI was very close to that of the 165 fusion I had been shooting previously.




Something clever here.
