[QUOTE="JDJHNTR, post: 154872, member: 2599"] I did a search guys but did'nt find the info I was looking for? I'm putting together a 700 LTR in .308 for LR whitetails (650-700 yards +/-) and have it topped with a Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50 30mm side focus in TPS rings riding a 20 MOA base. The gun has been bedded in the factory stock and the triger worked to a crisp 3 lbs. My question is this......... I have always and I do mean ALWAYS got excellent accuracy in my .308's using Lapua brass, GMM primers, varget and 168gr Nosler CT's pushed at around 2750fps. I have put together 3 other rifle using the same recipe and have gotten from 1 ragged hole 5 shot groups to .465 5 shot groups @ 100yrds. I love the accuracy but have never used them on LR game animals? I would like to hear from someone with experience on this bullet at the mentioned ranges and/or hear suggestions for other bullets suitable for my intended use? Again........I know this has been run in the ground before but I just could'nt find the info I was looking for? Thank you for all your help and advise!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
