Who\'s loading for the .308 Warbird?
Well, I'm trying to find a load for my Sako TRG-S .308 Warbird with Barnes XLC bullets. Using Nosler data with the Barnes bullets, (106.5gr Re25, 165gr) I got excessive muzzle flash. This was interesting to me, since the 30/378 Wby calls for a 110gr max load for a 165gr XLC. If I'm getting lots of muzzle flash, I'm not using all my powder...I can't imagine the amount of unused powder in the Wby case. I'm thinking about buying the 150gr factory loaded Lazerhead bullets, but I also have a box of 50 .308 168gr Barnes XLC's that I would like to use. If anyone's loading for the Warbird, please share your experiences. Thanks!!!!
