[QUOTE="pushcoguy, post: 1338059, member: 86505"] A search didn't turn up the info that I am after... so: I have no experience loading heavy bullets, or for short barrels. I have a factory Remington 700 .308, with a 20 inch barrel. I wanted to build some hog loads, using a 200gr bullet, but I am not having much success. Using Win748, I don't seem to be getting a consistent and total burn... so I went to a faster powder (I don't have the notes in front of me), but the results were horrible. One problem, I am sure, is that I had been trying to fit these in the magazine. I have conceded that, if I find a good sub-MOA load, it wont fit in the mag; but what do you guys usually do, when stuffing big bullets in the little .308 case... [U]and[/U]/or loading for a 20" .308 barrel? --Thanks in advance-- Richard [/QUOTE]
