[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 2924304, member: 59915"] Well this thread hasn’t instilled a ton of confidence in this bullet for me. 😂😂 I did adjust my load yesterday. I’m shooting it in a 308 win Savage FCP-SR 24” barrel. 190 SubX in Lapua Brass with a Federal 215 magnum primer and 10.0 grains of Trail Boss. This gets me an average of 1050 fps and a 17fps spread over 5 shots. I was previously shooting 10.5 grains with a Winchester LR primer and was averaging around 950 fps but it have like a 50 fps extreme spread. The magnum primer definitely seemed to even out the powder burn and picked up the fps so I was able to cut back on powder some. Which is nice since trail boss is not being produced right now. My hope is for my autistic son to be able to shoot deer with it since he doesn’t like loud booms and such. Next weekend is youth season and he’s very excited to use it. I sighted it in at 50 yards and shot a 3 shot group. The fist shot being in the yellow at 12 o’clock and the the next two shots high making it about a 3/4” group at 50. I then went inside and loaded one more cartridge and backed up to 100 yards and ran all the numbers through my ballistic app and dialed the correction for drop and put the second round in the yellow at about 9 o’clock. So I’m pretty happy with it. I’ll just take my rangefinder and ballistic calc and dial whatever he needs for him. I’m hoping this bullet performs as advertised. This will be his first time actually shooting at a deer. He’s really excited. The past years I took him out and he would line up on a deer and you could see the hesitation in his face and then he’d step away from the gun. Loud noises cause a lot of anxiety for autistic kids and he just wouldn’t pull the trigger but since I got my suppressors approved he LOVES shooting.
