Dalua Well-Known Member Supporter May 3, 2010 #3 Apparently if you email RWS, they'll send you the leaflet. Oddly, though, the Swarovski on-line ballistics calculator http://ballisticprograms.swarovskioptik.com/TDS-Plex_en.html that one uses to do the sums for the fancy TDS-reticles has a database with the GECO loads on. My .308 loves the 170grain round-nose, and at £21 a box, they seem very good value for money.

Gunner Well-Known Member May 3, 2010 #4 Thanks for the replies - I will e-mail RWS for the leaflet. I really want to know if they produce any 7x64 or 7mm08.

Dalua Well-Known Member Supporter May 4, 2010 #6 The data on the Swaro link suggest a 7x64 165gr soft round-nose load and a 7x64 target load. Unsurprisingly perhaps for a European budget-priced line, no 7mm-08 is apparent.
