the 165 is intended to give room for enough powder in the WSM, because the all-copper bullets take up more space than lead-core bullets. Both bullets are annealed to the same softness for expansion at the same velocities.


If this was true, can you pull out some of your engineering wisdom from your arse and tell me exactly how much powder space you'ld gain by shaving off 3 freekin' grains?

On the .308 thread in the Gunwriters forum, you tell us how the 168 TSX isn't designed for velocities above 2800fps, then here you say the 165 was designed differently for the WSM, yet it keeps the expansion qualities of the 168?
That doesn't compute Lee!


Still waiting on an answer for this too.
Why would they redesign the 165 for the WSM, yet keep the same velocity window?

I talked to them before you did and they told me about the field trip to Texas. They said they designed the bullets to work within the average impact velocity of normal hunting ranges with .308 Win to .300 Weatherby. They were testing bullets at the extreme just like Michelin tests tires at 160 mph, to learn something, not because they endorse the customer driving that fast.


Teeder, here's the gem he posted on the 308 thread... the tune has changed and now the 165/68 are deigned "to work within the average impact velocity of normal hunting ranges with .308 Win to .300 Weatherby."

Hmmm... that means at least 3,000 fps.

His pocket protector's still releasing fluorocarbons...

I guess the bottom line for me is I'm getting the itch again for a .300 SAUM! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
