RS40 a good alternative.

I’m waiting for a 308 and have been thinking about exactly this issue - couple of questions if I may thread hijack slightly

- how do the lighter bullets in 308 perform at range (in terms of accuracy and terminal performance)? Do they bleed off velocity and suffer from being lower BC?

- how genuinely available are Barnes in the UK? Looking just at places that list stock online and they seem to be out of stock an awful lot - which pushes me to the UK made alternatives

Reloading solutions usually hold a good stock

Real world experience of the above projectile and its terminal performance on deer of any and all species.

And suggested "pet" loads are welcome

Not after a different bullet, really like the TTSX, using the 130 grain happily to good effect but interested to see what the 110 is capable of

What makes you think Vihtavuori has discontinued N530? They might not have got around to make a batch, but no news here in Finland it being discontinued. Still listed at website, available from resellers etc.
