I have had good luck with both 68 gr. and 75 gr. BTHP Hornady Match bullets loaded over 23.0 gr. of Ramshot TAC powder. I shoot mostly 100 - 300yds and can regularily get .5" groups at 100yds, 1" groups at 200 yds and have a best of a 7/8" group at 300 yds.
Toprudder, my Savage model 10 in 7.62x39 also has a .308 barrel and it shoots the .310 steel-cased stuff like a champ. Sub-MOA with steel-case .310 Hornady 123-grain SST's in fact. I figured I'd be loading .308 bullets for it until I shot some .310's. Then I quicky realized it wasn't broke, so I'm not gonna fix it.
If it proves out, I would guess one would be wise to stock up on Z-Max before Hornady gets the word that people are now aware of the difference(s). I can see why Hornady would have a reason for coming out with the Z-Max when they did, because of the Zombie craze at the time. I recently saw some actual chronograph results showing velocity ...
Jun 6, 2017. #1. I'm going to load some .357 Mag with XTPs over H110 for my 686+, but I'm finding inconsistent data. The first place I looked was Hodgdon's website. Hodgdon only has 180 gr data for the Nosler Partition, but they seat it to 1.575" and the powder range is 13.0 – 13.5 gr. I checked my Hornady 9th ed manual and they list a COAL ...
Interesting that other favorite cartridges (.308 Win, 6.5x55, .243 Win with light bullets, 22-250 AI) prefer IMR-4064 over Varget, but the 7mm-08's that I loaded for had a definite preference for Varget. We loaded with 139 gr Hornady spire points and 140 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.
I bought a new Hornady L&L press an a 9mm die set and filled out the free bullet rebate form. I had read on the form and different websites that it would take 8-10 weeks to see my bullets. I mailed the forms along with money orders on Nov. 9th. I recieved my bullets today. Less than 2 weeks. I...
Top speed capability with a 250gr bullet is about 2,300fps with a 24"bbl. most have 22" or shorter barrels, hence perhaps 2,200fps m/v. Most 250gr .338" bullets are intended for the .338winmag, at 2,500fps m/v. With a 250, the .338Fed would be limited to about 150-200yds for reliable expansion.
Jan 6, 2018. #2. I shot 115 Gr for years because they were the cheapest. Then I tried 124/5s and decided I liked them better. Purely subjective IMHO, but for me a 124/5 at a leisurely 1050ish was accurate, pleasant to shoot and tossed the brass nearby. Nothing in the world wrong with 115 gr 9MM bullets.
Sep 24, 2018. #6. Even among premium factory loadings of the same weight and similar bullet design there can be a huge difference. I get 3" groups from my Howa .223 with Hornady match ammo but it will consistently hold under 1" with Federal GMM of the same 73gn weight. And these are always 5 shot groups.
