Can I ask what you paid ?

 

[Gandy]

I paid about £100 for box of 100 in .308. Tricky to get hold of generally.

I use 122 in my 6.5/284

Single hole and 3160 vo

Very effective

Worth every penny at a pound a bullet

That’s the going rate with normal dealers

I can get my load data if it helps but with LTS you really are better doing your own load dev as barrel internal dimensions cause significant changes in bullet behaviour and pressure

Think I’m using RS70 but can’t honestly remember as I load for a variety of rifles


Just checked RS 70 -54 g

Load dev with solids is usually start .050” off lands - get VO you want with no pressure and then play with seat depth

You usually find that .050” off will group - don’t go closer work away in .020” increments from there if you find your load doesn’t work

I use them in my 6.5 PRC
I use the 122 grain THAC
57.5 grn RS70 = 3280 fps
2.955 OAL 0.040 off
Super accurate , hold the wind off very well with that high BC .

Interesting that your VO is not a great deal faster for and extra three grains of powder with the same bullet

Shows how good the 6.5-284 is as a non magnum

My RS70 is about 4 yrs old , i kept it sealed best i could but i think its a little down on Horsepower . I have a couple of brand new tubs to try . My barrel is still speeding up , slowly but surly

Have plenty of vit 165 will try that over rs70 see how I go might be a bit down on vo
