125gr TNT's in a 308?
I would like to shoot these in an LTR (20") barrel. I have 2520, Varget, 748, 4895 and a few others. Please share some load that have worked for YOU and might work for me. Thanks, Keith
Have a fun, safe Holiday! |

Hello. I've not used that bullet, but with the Hornady 130 gr Spire Point and 51.5 gr W748 in Winchester cases ignited by a Federal Match LR primer, I consistently get 3/4" groups @ 100 yards from an A-Bolt.
Best. PS: I've killed a few deer with this load, but do not recommend it. Anything other than a broadside or neck shot would likely require too much penetration for what you get. Not really surprised. It also does quite a bit more damage than more traditional hunting loads...not good if you're planning on putting the meat in the freezer. I think this load would be a peach on coyotes, though. |

I have found the 125 TNT to work very well in my rems. Just bought a box of 500. Try about 43 gr 4895 as a starting point.
I have had these up to 3200+ FPS, and they were still about 1/2 moa. If you do this, watch the presssure! |
