DTAC. 308 WIN Precision loaded ammo with 175 NR SMK

[The Guide]

Has anyone had any experience with this ammo in their 308 Winchester? It is on sale @ $1.00 per so the price is right. Has a 175 nose ring SMK, temp insensitive powder, Russian primers, and Tubbs brass. Looks like the components should be good and Mr. Tubb doesn't usually offer junk for sale.

Anyone have a try with this ammo from Tubb's? @Formidilosus have you used NR 175 SMK's from a 308?

At a $1 a round, it's worth buying some to see

Hope to hear if anyone has used these on game and what they thought...also, if the bullets only may be available for loading?

I bought 300 rounds so I'm gonna figure something out!

Mi have used NR 175gr SMK’s. They work, and the NR helps with moderate velocity impacts to fragment the bullet when it yaws. Wounds can be very large.

Saw this video not sure if it gives you any info. Looks like the expansion took place well into the block vs earlier however it was at distance also (not sure of the velocity).

Also I’m curious of the depth of the nose ring. Is it stayed on the box? I believe 25 thou is for increased BC but 50 thou is recommend for hunting per Mr. Tubbs.

Any update on these rounds?

I have not shot them yet but I did receive my order. They look like they may be the deep NR but I don't have a standard NR to compare the bullet to.

I’m hoping they group well for you. If so order on my end will be inbound to Mr. Tubbs.

Brand new 20" Tikka CTR in 308. Brand new Unknown Suppressor's OG 30 from the first group buy. Shots 2 to 6 on a new barrel and suppressor with some heavy mirage at the target (very unusual for where I shoot) put up a decent group with the Tubb ammo. I will defintely shoot more groups and steel with it.

I’m interested to see how it does for you as the barrel settles in. Could make good fodder for my iron sight Tikka Drover.
