    160gn 30cal Hornady FTX projectiles. Experiences please.

    I am looking at developing a reduced load for the 308 (close bush work specifically) and was considering the Hornady FTX 160gn projectiles at around 1800-2000fps. Any experiences?

    I am looking at using them as a short range (30m) option, so mostly interested in what sort of MV I can drop to and still get reliable expansion.
