[QUOTE="rost495, post: 30198, member: 1768"] DeerGrunt Its been a number of years since I loaded any X bullets. I normally anneal brass and then load 100 rounds or so. That lasts a long time. I can't get to my loading records right at this time due to some unexpected house remodeling.. Anyway I was using Varget in both 06 and 308. While using 4831 for 300 wtby. In the wtby I can get the boattails to shoot. For the other 2 I had to shoot the flat base bullets. Used the Audette test method and normal load work. One thing I must say is that since I can trust the bullets performance I'll take a bit less accuracy. All the loads I have with X bullets will hold MOA out to 400 yards. I have not tested past that, even though I have the range to do it on. If they are that accurate thats plenty good for game. This was pre moly or coated days. In fact I have a number of 308s xs loaded in LC91 match brass so we have a clue as to how old that ammo is. I have had rifles that will just flat out not shoot the X bullets. One is a rem 22-250 that I really wished would shoot them as its a super deer round down here. But alas it won't even come close to accuracy. Good luck, Jeff [/QUOTE]
