ANY TESTING RESULTS ON SIERRA 200 GR 715 BC in 308 win

I was/am shooting them in the 2615 range and Varget.. big .4ish gr node there. About the same as my 200-20x load.

Now working with H4895 and in the 2700-2720 range. Never pushed the 20x this hard.

Im using a 10 twist and .170 fb throat which is too long to run them .008 off where they are shooting best right now. I'll get about 400-500 more rounds until the bullet falls out of the case. A quick test says I may be able to jump them .035-.050 with good accuracy, but i'll work on that when the time comes or set the barrel back with a suitable freebore.

A .110-.130 freebore would probably be ideal.

They're too long to eject from a short action, if that's a concern.

I cut my load development short due to them being impractical in my .308

Might give what I have left a shot in my 30-06 just for the heck of it
