Magwa Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 best ammo made and hard to get during hunting season.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briflemn762 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have push/pulled this bullet onto Fed Gold match in the past with good results. The pressures (and velocities) run slightly higher due to the different bullet construction but have been safe in my gun. No flattened primers or other signs of high pressure. The average case head expansion was exactly the same as Federal's P308TT2 (.308 165 gr Trophy Bonded Tip) shot in the same rifle (Remington M700 Mountain Rifle). I haven't had the need to try that with my LR-308 yet but don't see why the results would be much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the information..but as of now I have not gotten into reloading....I have about 900 rounds of Federal Match Grade 168gr BTHP....but they are not want I want to hunt with... I did find a couple of boxes of TED NUGENT ammo 165gr..I do believe they are Barnes 165gr TTSX...they shoot well...I hunt with a DPMS Sportacle with a 16" barrel..VERY nice grouping @ 100 yards...

briflemn762 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 No problem. I should have said that I saw that in your post. Just thought I'd throw the idea your way. Fed Match is usually in fairly ready supply and has proven very consistent for me in match rifles. The fact that the bullet weights are so similar is what makes it doable. I did have some concern because of the vastly different bullet construction, but it proved not to be an issue in my guns. Push/pull isn't really reloading and takes a really minimal amount of equipment. You need a basic single stage press-$75, set of dies-$35 (or just a seating die) and a collet puller-$33 (all prices @ MidwayUSA). You pull the bullet out of the parent round and then seat the bullet you want in the already primed and charged case to the same COL. You can't do this with just any cartridge/bullet combo, but the one I've given has proven safe in every .308 I've tried it in to date (my Mountain Rifle, a Norinco M-14S, a Winchester M-70 and a Ruger M-77 MkII stainless). I really wish i'd kept that Ruger sighhh... Then you've got the basics to start reloading if you chose too. Beware though, the search for the 'perfect load' for every situation in every gun you have is as addicting as shooting is. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
