Proba should have asked this first but just bought some 165 Ballistic Tips for the bush hag.
Do they go alright on redskins from 5-200? Should get em going about 2700 I'd say

got a mate who hunts with them, pole-axes them every time.
Hit them with a 165 SGK and you have redskins dropping at your feet
I think @mawzer308 may have used them? I think he was getting 2650ish from a 20" tube?
My favourite go to bullet in the short barreled 308 is the SGK 165. Can't see why the sst wouldn't do the job.
Cheers boys. Il try these noslers and if no good il try some sierras
Cheers. Im getting 2650 with 168 vlds out of 17". Might be the 2206h im using?Quote:

My mod 7 seems to like them out of a 16 inch barrel.
Just got some 180 sst loaded to try as well :)
My Brno loves the 165gr BTs.
They are leaving the barrel at 2680fps.
Bang flop is the usual end result.

Worries about high velocity in the bush. Anything over 2200 with a 165gn will do the job :)
Agree but if you can grow longer legs with good accuracy why wouldn't you?Quote:

Try some Hornady 165 SP (flat base) if you get the chance. Boat tails don't have any appreciable advantage over flat base under 500m and in the Hornady the SP holds together better than the BT.Quote:
