[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 255362, member: 7999"] Gerard, Are the current 173g .308 HV's different in design than ones from 2 or 3 years ago? I have some of the 173's that I still have not tried. If the new ones are different then I will not mess w/ the old ones. According to your web site I am right on the edge of enough twist to run these under 500 yrds for hunting. Although I should be able to push them bit faster than what you are showing. So I am hoping that I will be right in the middle of the twist calculator for long and short range hunting w/ the 173's and can use them as close or far as I would like. We did some hunting w/ the .308 160HV out of a 30-06 this last fall. This bullet was slightly on the long side according to the twist calculations on your web site. They performed very well on a hard quartering away mule deer at 300yrds. Cut three ribs going in and exited the base of the neck/chest on a straight line. Dropped that deer like he was hit in the head. Thank you in advance for your comment. Steve [/QUOTE]
