    308 bush pig projectiles

    Does anyone have any 125 or 130gr projectiles they're willing to sell that would be suitable for my 17" 308?
    Hoping to get some sorted before Christmas because I don't have a load that shoots out of the 308 yet and need to get my ass into gear.

    Awesome, thanks! Are you just running 2206? Will have to pick some of them up if I can't find anyone with leftovers on the forum.

    Im running Win 748 and Fed large rifle magnum primers.

    Seems odd I know, but Robbie Tiffin recommended using the LRM primers with that powder for more consistent ignition.

    I have a box of 100 x 130 grain Hot Cors, they are flat noses and would probably do well at the velocities you'll be getting with the short barrel.
