I ended up ditching the Hornady projectiles as the were hard work to group consistently and I simply didn’t trust taking them out on game.
215 Berger Hybrids have been a different story with most charge weights holding under 1Moa and with a lot more velocity to boot. Settled on 2820fps which is shooting 3/4 at worst and typically a bit smaller than that. SD is at 4 over a few range sessions. The eldms were like 20fps.
Took them Tahr hunting but ended up using the 7/08 on everything we shot. Took them deer stalking and I ended up with a 308 in my hands when the opportunity presented itself for a shot… Mate finally blooded the rifle at a mighty long 100m…. The irony of all the time I’ve put into this long range business is not lost on me.
Here’s some gore from the 215 hybrid at close range. Not as bad as I was expecting.
