    My browning only likes 165 SST with 2206. It’s a super accurate versatile hunting weight bullet.

    The big issues with getting it "wet" are you're in for at least three years drying before you can think of using it, and even then, there's a bit of luck as to whether it's gonna be suitable.

    Check out the Speer 165gr BTSP. Speer are cheap rounds and work rather well. I've got some 168gr TMKs to try out of my 308 as I've gone to 165s of late. And having seen how they work out of my...
