Thread: 3 Shot Cold Bore Group to 375yrds

Away hunting in weekend and had couple spare hours , so thought would try some mid range testing with the 308 , started first shot at 100 yds then 270 yards and final shot at 375yrds ,realised after I probably dialed about 1/2 minute to much on 375 shot as slightly uphill , still pretty happy with group.

Good shooting, especially with those TTSX bricks

They seem to kill everything good but are hard and always pass right through going to try another bullet any suggestions?

Nice shooting.

165 Nosler Ballistic Tip

Yep seems those heavier pills are way to go , I am running a 20 inch barrel with can and thinking about knocking it down to 18 inches also, most my shooting is 200 to 350 yrds , 400 yards is probably max as scope only 10 power and don’t want to faff around with all the gear to shoot further etc .

I wonder how many people here could do that on demand ?

What sort of rest / bipod were you using ?

Small Harris bipod up front and tent bag under butt .

168 or 178 ELD-M would do you well too.

Dialed up a bit much but happy with group.
Heres a good load my tikka 308 likes.
woodleigh 150grn

45.5grn

Yep thats 500 yrds. little wind wind,
on bags though.

Sorry 168 grn tmks

Good group for 500 yards

Oath, im not sure i could even see your aiming point at 500 yds.
You must have a big arse scope.

i use the 140 ttsx in my savage 7mm08,with excellent results 3 group touching at 100 metres and they sure hit hard at close quarters

Haven't tried those yet ,I have not had a fail with the TTSX 130's yet so cant really bag them , they hit them hard and always pass through, , getting 2950 out of 20inch barrel so they are fair humming along
