light .30 cal bullets

[NZ_Fclass]

Well, the thread is about lightweight 30 cal bullets. Yes, A 165 is a light bullet too, in the long range game but not what I'd consider a light 30 cal bullet, overall. Maybe just a different mindset that creates a different understanding of what light actually means in this context. Hell, either of us could be right or wrong in this context. That's the beauty of the 30 cal, a huge array of bullet weight selection for different disciplines and they(most) all work well.
Since the thread is 13 years old, I doubt it's worth arguing about. Lol!

Good point. I'll watch out for threads that discuss the properties of flint and patch materials in future. ( Absolutely no slur on our black powder shooting cuzzies!)

Lol! I'm honestly not sure how to take that. The world record .0077(under 10 thou) five shot group at 100 yards was shot using 114gr bullets. So what are you saying?

Currently working on a light bullet load in my .308 as well. Here are two 3 shot groups with Berger 115 FBT at 100 yards. I didn't get enough time to finish my testing, but will resume when I can and the weather permits. These Bergers are jumping a very, very long way as this rifle is my F-T/R rifle throated for Berger 215s that I am repurposing for some of my local club level short range matches. It looks like it may show some promise with some additional testing.

Some rifle specs;
Remington 700 action
Krieger 1-10" 5R, Heavy Palma 32"
Jewel trigger
Sinclair aluminum benchrest type stock
Sightron 6.5-20x42 (going to swap out to Sightron 36x BRD for remainder of testing)

My 308 loves 125grain Nosler Bt’s and Accubonds over 49grains of Varget

I know this is an old thread.... So, I bought some older110 Sierra HP bullets. My 308 has a 1/10 twist. I may have an old '06 target rifle with a slower twist. Do any of you guys shoot this bullet at 200 Y or less? And what kind of accuracy do you get?

I have shot these over H4895 & get stellar accuracy out of my old 700. IIRC 100 yd groups were well under an inch.

155.5 Berger full bore Palma shooters love them at 1000 in a.308
