Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 125 gr Ballistic Tips in 308 Win??

I am stepping my 13 year old niece up from the G2 Contender carbine in 7-30 Waters to an Encore Carbine in 308 Win.. it is an 18" barrel with a muzzlebrake. I am thinking about loading 125 gr Btips due to the less recoil and I have a lot of them. How do they work in a 308?? I plan on loading them mid level loads. thanks Rob

I have killed several deer with them. Worked great. miles

A hunting buddy and I have used them in 30-30s. Devastating deer dumping deadly.

Thanks guys.. She is hunting stands that will give her more distance than I am comfortable her shooting with her 7-30 Waters.

I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. My daughter will be using them out of her .300 Savage on Oklahoma white tail.

Hopefully she will get to bloody it this weekend as our rifle season opens this Sat.

I've killed quite a few with 125 BT's from a .30-06. The results were always instant, if a little messy. I think mid level .308 loads will be fine for that bullet.

Nice load an like the picture of the rifle rovert

no problems from us......my 11 year old has killed several deer with them in 308 over 4198,,,,,,,,,,,,not super fast but it has done fine inside 125yds

They do make a 125g Accubond now.

In theory, yes, but like unicorns, no one has actually ever seen one.

The 125 gr accubonds are available.I loaded up a bunch for my son's .308 this year,
