Thread: ballistic calculator's can be wrong

Greetings @Hbwanderer,
If it is a bush gun and 50 metres is a long shot ditch the spitzer and definitely the boat tail projectiles, Try 150 grain round nose projectiles. My experience with 150 grain boat tails is they often don't shoot that well if the throat is worn or long, You don't mention the powder but I have used from 38 to 45 grains of AR2206H with decent results. Stay away from ball powders with reduced loads. Post some more data on the components you have and I can provide some suggestions.
Regards Grandpamac,

Another thought. Is the rifle new to you and if so have you checked all the screws and mounts and the bedding? .308 rifles, even well worn ones, must be the easiest on the planet to get to shoot well.
