Thread: Subsonic loads in 308 with 11:1" barrel twist

The cast bullets that shooternz on here sells are perfect for goats. Cheap and expand reliability with a good hollow point. I have shot deer, goats, rabbits, pigs and possums with them. Ideally have a scope with holdover marks or can dial.
Work ok on deer but I wouldn't recommend them unless it is open country or you have a good dog.
Margin for error with head and neck shots is extremely minimal as they do very little damage.
I tend to treat them like shooting a bow.
My load is the 151gr cast with just under 8gr of trail boss, if you can't get ahold of that Robert will give you some advice on other powders.

Get in touch I am back Casting again have started catching up on backorders, I have a few bags of 151HP in stock, Don't want to list on TM yet
still recovering from Covid don't want to many orders,
I have been doing some powder tests with 700X Red dot 800x they are nearly as bulky as Trail Boss, an 8 grain load is still a good starting point,
