Hey guys, I just ordered some Sierra Game king 130's in order to duplicate Constructor's MPF load, but I also bought some Combined technologies 130grain Ballistic Silvertip bullets today, in the hopes of loading the following 6.8 SPC's: SSA brass with small primer, using RE10X or 4198 to load to around 2450 in my 4 groove, 11 twist, 20 inch which is coming soon.Will the OAL be acceptable with this bullet? Have any of you tried it? It expands at lower velocities PLease Help if you can....  .

Although I have not tried this bullet in anything other than a factory load for my Remington .308; I sure do like this bullet. Let me know what you come up with and hopefully it will work just fine in my 18" ko-tonics. I'm using 110gr. Prohunters this deer season(just sighted it in with the first 20 rounds I put through it). I'm hoping to find some other deer loads for this caliber. I had several people asking about it at the range yesterday and although I didn't get a pic of my target - the 6.8 outshot most everybody's deer guns there!

High-Tech, I am pretty sure the CT Silvertips are the same bullets as the Nosler Silver tips so you can load them for the 6.8 SPC. I am going to test out some 130 Gr. bullets tomorrow with my 20" Ko-Tonics using H322 so I will post the velocities. H4198 is too fast and you will loose too much velocity with it. Reloaders 10x, H322, and Benchmark should work great. |
Thanks for the follow up guys. I have always thought that the ballistic silver tip would be a great projectile;e for the 6.8 SPC in hunting applications. I'll get some loaded up and post a report when I get time. |
