Anybody have any experience loading light bullets in .308? I'm loading for a DPMS LR308T.
I shot the DPMS Tri-gun this year and talked to several competitors who told me they were using 125-135 grain bullets in their 100-200 yard ammo. The idea is that lighter bullets recoil less and higher velocity makes comps work better. |

The idea is to get the splits down as fast as you would shooting minor/223.
This forum really is not the place for 3gun reloading; almost none of the shooters here participate in 3g nor do they understand it. Try the 3gun forum - and the 3gun reloading forum section at www.brianenos.com |

I shoot the speer TNT at 200 and less. I put it on top of my 168gr load (41.5gr IMR4895) and it comes out of the barrel doing around 2450fps. Very easy recoil. 10rds, prone, iron sights in match M14.  It's shot well on any powder and charge I've tried. It's just not very picky at all. 2.75" OAL works well. |
| I worked up some loads for the 110gr VMax and got sub-moa groups. My gun is a factory Remington VSSF that was accurized by Brad Stair at Wasatch Precision. I added a Bell and Carlson Stock and Shilen Match Trigger. I was really suprised the light bullets shot as good as they do in the .308. |

Try the 3gun forum - and the 3gun reloading forum section at www.brianenos.com I didn't realize there was a section for 3 gun reloading on BE's site. I posted the same question on the rifle/shotgun reloading section and got less info than I did here. You are right about the kind of info I'm looking for. I wasn't aware that nobody here would have any knowledge of 3 gun or what it consists of as far as equipment goes. Since you seem to know what I'm talking about, any suggestions? |
