[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2697069, member: 94154"] I'm confused by this thread, or more specifically, its title. Why not change the title to "Improving 308 Win performance with Badlands Bullets" ? That alone would have piqued my interest. I find the discussions and banter regarding cartridges amusing. I've used Lehigh, Cutting Edge, Barnes, and Hammers in various calibers with pleasing improvement in performance and very satisfactory results. Much to my dismay, I have not been able to get E-Tips to shoot well. [I]C'est la vie.[/I] What does interest me in this thread is looking at the Badlands for my 300 Savage. I'll see if the BD2 may fit for that. As far as powder selection, I'm a big fan of LeverEvolution across many cartridges in the 260-357 calibers. I think Hodgdon has undersold that powder. It has an energy density that many other suitable powders do not, gives consistent performance (contributing to accuracy), and better velocities without pressure. I haven't spent the time documenting whether or not it harms the chamber throat. [/QUOTE]
