Has anyone had any luck with 110 gr bullets with their LR-308? I found some at a good price and I thought they might make a good varmint load if I can get any accurcy out of them with a 1 and 10 twist barrel. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks |
| I'm interested to hear what you all discover. I tried some Hornady factory TAP in 110 grn through a medium contour FAL and had lackluster accuracy. However, that gun wouldn't print small groups with anything I fed it, so the ammo might have been just fine. FYI, I find that my LR308 prefers Hornady 168 grn Amax. Shoots that even better than Fed GMM. |

i developed a load using the 110g VMAX for my 308. its a bolt gun though- remington 700, custom barrel, 308 win match chamber.
using 49 grains of H335 and a federal 210M primer i got a blistering 3390 fps (blistering for a 308  ). the Hornady TAP load is advertised at 3160fps
100yd zero 200yds -2" 300yds -9" 400yds -22" hits with over 1000ft/lbs all the way to 450yds. the furthest i shot it was 300yds, and it was 1/2MOA. wind wreaks havoc on these little bullets though. i like to do the highly scientific "phonebook test" soak 4 thick Dallas phonebooks in the tub overnight. next morning, squeeze out all the excess water and ductape them together. a 1' thick block weighs at least 30lbs. much denser than tissue. the Varmint Slayer round shredded a 3" hole inside the book. the violent framentation of the bullet ripped the ductape and separated the books. you can see how they are bulged in the pic.

EUREKA!!!! I am a technology savant!!! This is what I got out of my DMPS .308b this last thanksgiving weekend with the poweders written on the targets & federal primers @ 100yds. Im stoked to say the least! There's going to be some dead yotes this winter up in NODAK!
