I've just started playing with berger 130gr VLD'S in my 260 rem. Decent bc, frangible enough to expand at lower impact velocity. Got them doing 2900 from my 20" mod 7 barrel. Run the ballistics on thoses numbers, surprisingly impressive.

Cheers... I've ordered a sample pack of the swifts 130gr, and some nosler BT 140gr and I'm going to trial some of my mates SST's and just see how they all go, I'm hoping my rifle likes the swifts as I also read they are a great all round projectile.
I'm going to stick with 130gr-140gr
The swifts look hard? Do they expand much moving slower?

The 123 sst's shoot well out of my 6.5x55. Built for grendel speeds so reasonably frangible and have a decent BC (.51) should be able to hit 2900-3000.
I shot a red at 500yrds with my 308 sst projectiles and dropped it like a stone. couldn't find the projectile but found three good size exit wounds. don't like making long shots but some times u just have to.
Long shots if they work out can mean a long carry if they don't wounded animal.... or at best a miss and scare everything that was closer that you hadn't seen.
Can also mean meat on the deck before it is too dark to shoot
"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
