All things .308 Win

Looks like Michigan will be getting rid of the straight wall requirement down state. Gonna make my 308 my new deer gun! I'll be looking for the best factory ammo for up to 250-300 yards with 150 and under being the most common range.

Where did you get that little tidbit of removing the Zone 3 restrictions?

It's going to be part of the regulation package the NRC will be voting on come May. There's a whole lot more to it. New buck regs, doe regs, rifles, etc. Everything will come fully public in April at the next NRC meeting.

No doubt! I've been shooting all copper out of my 350 and 400 legends the last 6 years. I will probably stick with copper just because.

130 ttsx out of the 308 is the way to go out to about three or four hundred yards. Lots of threads discussing it and a vortex (?) podcast if you really wanna go deep

Appreciate it! I just haven't paid attention to bottleneck rifles much due to my location and restrictions here. I have a bergara b14 308 and a Remington 783 in 6.5CM that was gonna be a donor rifle for a 41 Great Lakes conversion.

Been messin with heavies in a 20” Tikka Varmint .308. Really wanted the 178 ELD Xs to work but after 4 different powders and multiple seating depths bout decided it just dislikes that bullet. Tried a variation of Forms 185 Jugg/PP2000 powder recipe and pretty stoked on it. 2 or 3 times fired Lapua LRP brass, BR2 primer, and a mag length COAL of ~2.925”. 47 grains PP2000 powder. Bolt is light and primers look great. Every now and again get the faintest case head swipe. 92 degrees here in the Texas Hill Country today. Imma run it
.308-.06 vibes…

Had 500 of those tipped SMK’ show up today from raven rocks, I’ll load them up for my dad in his roughtech 308 for this fall and report back on how they shoot.

I was gonna load some 178’s for shits and grins with TAC, also a tikka. I don’t ‘need’ them to shoot but also curious and will help me get a firing on some virgin brass

The price was definitely right

Have that powder and meant to try it with the 178 X’s, never did. Might’ve been the one
