177gr Cauterucio bullet testing in 284 Shehane

[bsumoba]

Going to be trying this bullet tomorrow in my 284 Shehane. I currently shoot 180gr hybrids, but what the hell, why limit myself.

56.4 - 56.6 - 56.8 of H4831SC loaded to 10K out is what I am going to start out with.

Anyone else have experience with these bullets in either a straight 284, 7 RSAUM, or 284 Shehane?

I will post results tomorrow.

This is a pointed 177gr Cauterucio and a pointed 180gr Hybrid

I have shot them. They shot similar to Berger's and Sierra's.

Here is a 3-shot group indicative of the average group I got all weekend at 100 yards once I got my load down. Not to my surprise, jumping this VLD was not an issue.

The best part...it is the same load as my 180gr hybrid.

Now I just need to take it out to distance to see how it performs vertically.
