[QUOTE="mobenzowner, post: 1234324, member: 94161"] I have a Browning X-bolt in .308 that has a pretty long chamber. I am currently shooting 165gr #2145 SGK's and have them shooting about .75moa on average. My issue is, I have to seat those bullets with just enough bullet left inside the case to hold fairly securely. Would a longer bullet be better, or is where the Ogive located more important than the total length of the bullet? This gun has a 1:12 twist barrel, so I think I need to stay in the 150-165 grain range. Any ideas on what bullets might work well? The accuracy of these are fine for 200 yd or less hunting, but I am afraid there is not enough bullet in case to hold securely. It is right on or slightly under the general rule of a calibers length inside the case. [/QUOTE]
