6.8mm with a 130 grn Boattail?

rodwhaincamo · October 15, 2009, 08:44 AM

Anyone know of a 130 grn boattail that is short enough for the 6.8mm SPC? It would become my favorite carry rifle if there is one. I've read that those who tried Ballistic Tips found them too long to seat. I have even entertained the idea of seeing if I can remove the plastic tip from one of my Ballistic Silver Tips, but I'd hate to ruin one of my hunting bullets.

In researching & discussing with a buddy that's got a 6.8...looks like 110gr is about the heaviest that can be loaded to mag length.
