I have also shot 200gn Lapua FMJ in my 16" T3 308 and they stabilized and were accurate. As far as killing things went they were worse than the 190 Sub-X, just leaving a neat .308" diameter hole...

1-10" stabilised everything I tried, up to (I think) 180gr soft cast lead. Slight off topic, but one of the big things for lead cast bullets intended for subs is that not all lead is created equal,...

Mate an me were hunting the Rangitikei river faces some years ago. Could hear a couple of falcon hunting in a gut below. They then came up to our height and parked up on some rocks about 20m away....

Factory ammo does vary quite a bit even lot to lot. 5 or 6 years ago I recall being surprised by some Sako 308 ammo, ES was over 100fps within the same box. In the weekend I tested some 22 match...

The best I've come across is that cheap copper wash 7.62x39 fmj. That was less than 10 fps. And it shot well too. But same here, I hardly ever use factory ammo now.

I shoot 62gn in my Ruger Ranch II, 1:8 twist, 16 in barrel, suppressed. Best groups I've found are up around max load or just under, around 2650 to 2750fps. Powders I've trialed are, 2208 (excellent...

Belmont have used the hornady 62 gr sp and speer gold dot interchangeably and both were moa for me. Try loading them to Sammi std seating depth. Just out of curiosity what sort of spread is all over...
