   Yeah....nah.... very dependant on them going in the right place. Totally get what you're saying... the heavier projectile does a fair bit more damage, lot more forgiving if the young fella doesn't...

   No comment on projectiles, but is your rifle suppressed? that scrubs off a lot of noise and recoil.

   Hey James In my humble opinion those two projectiles need to be stoked up to the max to work properly in a 16" 308 (2900fps+) = lots of noice and recoil. Personally I don't rate the accubonds in...

   The Barnes definitely need speed to work. You could use a 30/30 projectile, like a 150gr RN or FN, and load it down to 30/30 velocities. ADI 2206H is a particularly good powder for this, as it has...

   That’s 60% of book max load, for clarification.

   +1, the suppressor makes it a different weapon to shoot.

   Yep agree the accubond or ttsx need high velocity. I would try a soft 125 or 130gr loaded down. I had a good run with the 130gr Speer Hollowpoint at full velocity from my 30/06. I'm sure they would...

   You could use loads using Trail Boss, would be only just supersonic and can download for subsonic loads if its suppressed.

    Yes. 150 gn round lead nose or speer 130gn hp. Take a look at speer manual #10 for reduced loads.

    If he wants to reduce recoil he needs to stay away from heavy projectiles. Stick to varmint 125 or 130 at low velocities. Way less recoil.
