Now the
So here is the important part that everyone wants to know...the load data used.
Here is the load data for the 308 Win Standard SAAMI chamber, my reamer, in a trued 700 action with a 9 twist 5 R Bartlein barrel 22" long.
The 208 gr hybrid in hybrid cases for this rifle is a good load, accurate and low SDs plus a better BC than the 215 gr Berger.
But sometimes I shoot these hybrid loads in the 8 twist long action, (because these are single load here), and get a much different accuracy event.
Or run them out of the MDT center feed without the center support for almost 3" in the rifle shown I believe it's 2.990" or 2.980" will get ya off the ogive. ... it's the same barreled action buy different stock, as I wanted to try the other stock used in this test.
But if you shorten the COAL be sure to drop the power charge about 1.5 grains...or more and work up.
So nothing is predictable here. Sometimes it's what is expected... sometimes not.
