    165 BT from 308 17"

    Proba should have asked this first but just bought some 165 Ballistic Tips for the bush hag.

    Do they go alright on redskins from 5-200? Should get em going about 2700 I'd say

    Hit them with a 165 SGK and you have redskins dropping at your feet

    I think @mawzer308 may have used them? I think he was getting 2650ish from a 20" tube?

    That sounds a bit closer 2700 would be pushing pretty hard out of a 17" I would have thought?

    I ran 168amax at 2750 out of 22'' could go 2800 but hard on brass!

    My favourite go to bullet in the short barreled 308 is the SGK 165. Can't see why the sst wouldn't do the job.

    Try some Hornady 165 SP (flat base) if you get the chance. Boat tails don't have any appreciable advantage over flat base under 500m and in the Hornady the SP holds together better than the BT.

    I've got plenty of them 165 @Gibo. My 308 likes them, my last two reds didn't.
