![]() I particularly like round nose bullets in the 170gr to 180gr range, they stabilize out of my 5R very nicely. Don't want any pesky baffle strikes, I particularly like this one, and besides with friends like this who needs assholes. The biggest concern is making sure they stabilize out of the barrel. The next consideration should be bullets, heavier is often better depending on your twist rate and barrell length. Its very bulky, 15gr fills a 308 case (Can't double charge), its easy on the hopper, and very consistant. I have personally tried Red Dot, Clays, and Trailboss won out. I have seen people play with Titewad, Clays, Bullseye, Trailboss, and Red Dot. To eliminate that sensitivity you can utilize a wadding material, but that gets to be a pain. Some pistol and shotgun powders will work but are very case sensitive creating uneven burn rate and a lack of consistancy with POI. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 30% CASE VOLUME.Įxperimenting with several different powders by many people here have led to many threads on the subject, try the search function and you'll see. The occurrance is created by slowed or delayed ignition, that causes explosive gases to build due to the smoldering, and once ignited causes a high order explosion. Secondary detonation is caused by the use of low density pistol powders similar to Bullseye that when in the case collect toward the bullet end and are not evenly distributed creating an air pocket between the primer and powder. As long as the POI is repeatable and consistant you are fine. FGMM 168 is consistantly 3" low at 100 yards out of my 700 5R, and BH 175gr is consistantly 2" low. It is not uncommon for POI to be about 2" to 4" low with factory ammo. POI shift is dependant on the load (Velocity). In the little bit of playing I've done, I've noticed the bullet drops about 3-4" at 100 yards from a full pwoer load.Īlso, please tell me about this supposed secondary detonation due to not sufficiently filling the case. I'll be shooting in a DPMS LR-308 so I know they won't cycle the action. Originally Posted By: garandmanI'd be interested in your best loads.
