.270. Winchester Power point super x 130g

 

[stubear]

.308 150gr Federal Power Shoks - Really nice shooting round and does very little meat damage. If I werent starting to home load this would be my top choice for shop bought ammo as my local RFD always stocks it and for a decent price.

I've been developing a home load recently using Lapua brass, CCI primers, RS52 powder and 165gr Interbonds and I'm planning on this being my go-to round once I have the powder charge nailed.

 

[Pine Marten]

I use 150gr DL1 bullets propelled by N-140 powder in both 7mm-08 and 7x57R. So far, I've used them on roe, muntjac and CWD. We shall hopefully see about fallow in a fortnight or so. But it's nice and simple, the same bullet, powder and primers in everything. There's a bit more powder in the 7x57R though, from memory I thing ~41gr as opposed to 39.1gr in the 7mm-08.

i know, i have never used anything but the RWS KS bullet, but I can see the point on using lead free, that is why I'm interested in views from the group here.

 

[Selous]

For lead free I am hearing good reports of the 150g hornady superformance GMX, the Geco zero 135g and the Lapua Naturalis providing the ranges are sub 150 yards. There is also the Barnes vortx euro loading with the awesome 130g TTSX but I'm not sure if the uk distributors have brought any in yet. My lead free useage is generally home loaded

 

[Boarboy]

Geco express 165gr .308 (mainly fallow).
