[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 529606, member: 313"] UPDATE: I finally got to the range and tested the .308 loads with the 210 VLD loaded to a gentle .002" crush fit. All groups were 3 shot at 200 yds. Wind was calm, weather was friggin' HOT. 100 deg under the overhang. 1) 44.0 RE 17 2,390-7 ft/sec 1.30" 2) 45.0 RE 17 2,456-5 ft/sec .55" 3) 46.0 RE 17 2,520-2 ft/sec 1.20" 4) 47.0 RE 17 2,590-15 ft/sec .75" The number annexed to the velocity is the SD. This a fairly small test but it does provide some insight for anyone else who may be interested in shooting heavy bullets in their .308 win. with RE 17 powder. Barrel is a 22" Broughton 5c with an 11 twist. [/QUOTE]
