My pump is a 308. I usually use round nose core lokts or 180 round nose hornadys. I was wondering how many of you guys use round nose bullets in your rifle?
I need to work up a load for my 760 Carbine 308. If the 180gr RNs I have down there shoot well, I will be more than happy to use them in that rifle.
Just checked zero on my 7600. Still under an inch with 180 core locks. I have killed a cattle car full of deer with that rifle. Carried it over to Birdsongs a few years ago. Some of the best money I ever spent. Highly recommend them. Patrick

I like them. I used them in my 7x57 and sometimes in my .280. I might load up some for my .280. I have a pretty good pile of 7mm 154gr RN I got from our buddy Grizzy Bill.
I used 180 round nose core locks until I couldn't find them one year and went with regular SP. Haven't noticed any difference in feeding or terminal performance. Patrick

YEP ! I bought my first reloading set up in 1974, RCBS Jr....My son has it today and it works. ?somewhere after '86, I bought the Rockchucker I have now.
SO... I've read all the 'supposedly' advantages of R N bullets opening up quicker, etc. etc..
Since 1974 - 46 yrs - I have NEVER bought 1 box of R N bullets for anything. *NOTE* I have NOT loaded for any tubular mag rifle **
I've killed W T from 12' down as in from 12' Hi DOWN to the ground and about every distance -- 100 yds---400 yds. I've never found the 'Spitzer' (spritzer grin), Spire Point or otherwise pointed bullet to be lacking in expansion.
I have a Remington model 14 in 30 Remington that I enjoy still hunting with. I generally use 150 grain round nose for deer and 170 grain round nose for wild hogs. Has a Redfield peep sight on it. Don't use a sling as it spoils the perfect balance of this 100 year old classic.

There is certainly something to be said for a handy peep-sighted woods rifle!
I bought this 760 30-06 the year High Brass was born. He loved this rifle. I got this buck (my best) the year we lost him. He mounted the 2.5x8 on it. He had a post & duplex reticle installed.
