.308 Varmint and plinking loads - 02/04/06
Lately I've been trying to develop loads with light projectiles for my .308.
Ive had success with Norma 125gn, getting 5 shots under an inch at a 100 - but so far no luck with 110gn Hornady.
I was thinking that as the Hornady projectiles are short and have a more sharply point angled point than the Norma that the extra jump to the lands may be the trouble?
So in regard to safety, how far out can I seat the 110 grainers?
Any suggestions are welcome.

DBT.
