[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2837285, member: 126985"] Thanks for the tip on Badlands Bullets, checked them out...may try some to see how they shoot, I don't hunt anymore the last few yrs, getting too old. But still get quite a bit of shooting done. I already use the Lapua Palma 308 brass and their LR primed brass. I've used both Rem 7 1/2 and the CCI 450 in the palma brass. The plama brass tends to lose 40 fps with the same load as the LR Lapua brass in one comparison test...needs to be explored ...but a 1/2 gr more powder could be added to the Palma case..maybe. I have the special not to be reloaded 277 Fury bi-metal cases formed and ready to load for experimental purposes, as they are rated at 80,000 psi. I have a bunch of Leverevolution for the 6mm ARC but never tried it in 308...in the special bimetal cases I'm running the 6.5 Creedmoor at 3000 fps with 150 gr SMK, 3056 fps being the top load. And continued experimenting on the 308. I have a 22" 9 twist to play with also built as a lighter weight hunting rifle. [/QUOTE]
