Has anyone tried the 168gr Classic Hunter?
I'm trying to find a load that will feed from the magazine in a Winchester Model 70. I'm working with 160 Accubonds and Retumbo and it's not consistent, I'm getting decent groups then some random fliers. The Classic hunters will work well from the magazine but I haven't found much info on them. I won't be doing much serious long range, mostly 500 and in for deer and elk, that's why I was trying the Accubonds.
Any recommendations?
Seems like any of the VLD seated to magazine length put the ogive in or at the case mouth, and the rifle has a long throat so I can't seat them to the lands or I can't eject a loaded round.
I have Retumbo and H1000, and can get RL25 and 26. I also have several bullets on hand 168 Classic hunters and 168 VLD, 180 hybrids, and 175 ELDx. Federal 215m primers and R-P resized 8mm brass.
