[QUOTE="flyin lizard, post: 327142, member: 10378"] Hey 308, I am no expert but I think 300fps is a pretty large amount in a 308 cartridge. You have very good accuracy at 2500 ,so the question is how much acc. do you lose if you go up to 2700 fps? The dime size groups are sure great to see and show that you and your weapon are very capable. Now if you increase velocity and you groups go to ,say, nickel size that is still darn good, and your bullets should perform better. As a reloader also I know testing can be pricey, stinks to buy a full box of bullets only to find out they don't work in your gun. Found this guy and he is a life saver ,Tom Reddin at [URL="http://www.bulletsamples.com"]www.bulletsamples.com[/URL] Check out the site and if you see something you wish to try write down the info on a piece of paper go to the order form and fill it out ,don't forget your phone # and e-mail. The first time I ordered from him it was a little different because after you submit your order Tom will call you on the phone usually that day to review your order then take cc info. I got some Bergers from him and thats what I use now in my 300wsm. Also he ships your order out fast ,sometimes that day if you catch him early.. Good luck.. ps Lots of long range hunters use sierra matchkings with good results in the bigger cartridges. [/QUOTE]
