Thread: Belmont ammo 308 with hornady 150gr SP - Range Report

haha well there goes that theory
Still a pretty cheap price to just buy and try. I have been paying $65 just for a box of 20 6.5mm rounds so worth a crack I reckon. Gone back to the 308 for a change

Ah it doesn't say excluding tax on the website until you go to the checkout.
I got my last lot on sale and don't remember that.

It says on the r/h side of page "all prices include GST". I'm in the same boat would rather buy the 250 pack but a bit risky if my gun doesnt like them

Yeah I thought $108 as well until I got to the counter haha

Take note of yr very 1st cold bore shot,see if you hit the dot,take yr time taking the shot.Then another day,try 200 yds,cold bore shot as if you are hunting and you only get one shot.After a while you should be able to hit the dot with yr 1st shot.It takes time I know and you gota get a calm day to try.

my cold bore shot is about 1.5 moa high at 100m. I will have to confirm this with some more testing with the method you said. Most my shooting is inside 150m so wouldn't be a huge issue there. But 250+ it defiantly will be.

Cold clean bore, or just cold bore. My tikka prints 1" high off a cold bore when clean but is bang on when dirty

Try find some other 308 shooters to go in together and get some? or a single packet and freight works out at 35 bucks. Still worth trying.

Cold and clean. Every other shot after that is on point.

Leave it dirty, tikkas love some copper in there

My tika loves a clean barrel.A few yearlings this summer didn't.

i usually do but grabbed bore tech by mistake while cleaning.
Usually just clean the carbon and give the chamber a good scrub, then apply a light oil.
2-3 patches down it before shooting to remove all the oil.

Just ordered 250 at$280 I couldn't load it for that

I just got a invoice and it didn't add up right,i said yr web site on top right side say(all prices include GST)
reply said (the cart on the website takes the GST out then adds it back in at the check out).Hmmm technology today.

Just chronied some Belmont Hornady 308 150 SSTs thru 20inch tika.Five shots averaged 2749 ft/s.Ok ammo maked in NZ just under half the price of the Hornady Superformance SSTs 150 gr,which I get 2969ft/s which is belting along.
