    Favorite 168 ELDM + H4895 / Varget loads for 308 Win

    I just got some 168 ELDM's and am hoping for some tips for what is working for others with this bullet. I've seen a number of posts that say H4895 works great but few specifics outside of a 44gr recommendation which is a bit higher than I want to go. I'm going to do a ladder regardless but am...

    Hunting & Fishing Before and after wild hogs vs 308 168 amax Graphic

    Caught these little buggers thisI evening. They came in about 10 minutes before dark. They were still in the brush a little bit when the first one offered me a headshot. Range was about 100 yards, instead of running off the remaining three just took a few steps, so i just kept shooting. The...

    Range Report 168 BTHP @2670 fps to 1000 yards?

    Will it work? The ballistic program said it will be moving at 1136.5 at 1000 yards, so it should work..... Unless I am missing something.

    SMk- 168 vs 175

    What is the difference between the 168gr SMK and the 175gr SMK? The weights are so close that it can't just be a 7gr difference in weight. Is there some other difference? Here the 175gr SMK seems to be favored over the 168gr. What are the advantages? Another question on the same subject. I...

    Nosler Match 168 Bullets Anyone?

    Found one 250 pack of Nosler 168BT match bullets for $70, sounds like a bargain especially since nothing else is available in local market and when they were, $39 for Sierra 175BTHP 100 pack. Guess they will fly straight and the price is good but anyone used or using them? Thanks

    Where to find ballistics data on BH Gold 168 A-max

    Does anyone know where I might locate ballistics data on Black Hills Gold 168gr A-max .308 Win Match ammo? With a 200 yd zero, what drop can I expect at say 450yds? This is through a 20" barrel. Steve

    Sierra 168 "International" HPBT

    I recently got 800 sierra 168gr HPBT from a friend. All the boxes are marked 168 INTERNATIONAL. They have the normal sierra number for the 168 HPBT (2200) and look the same as current 168s. They are obviously older from the boxes but otherwise are they the same as the current stuff?? Thanks...

    What is the differnces in quaility in ammo? My gun shoots FGM 168 great. Cant find this nowhere. Would the Blacks Hill Gold or the Remmington Match 168 be about the same.

    Another 168 FGMM substitute question.

    Ok, I have read a bunch of the FGMM threads, but all of them seem to degrade into a posting of a bunch of recipes that shoot best in the posters rifle but few have an exact dupe of the FGMM. My situation: Our issued duty ammo is Federal Gold Metal Match 168gr .308. I have a good stockpile of...

    .284 Win - 168 Berger @2900fs - What will it take?

    .284 Winchester question: Can a 168gr Berger be pushed to 2900fps in a 25"-26" tube without cooking the hell out of the brass? I'm looking to re-barrel a SA Rem 700. With the new info on RE17 the .284 Winchester looks promising, but all the info on 6mmBR.com is with 31+ inch tubes. I'm...

    .308 168 AMAX and Vihtavuori Powders?

    Anyone using this combo? I want to save whats left of my Varget for the 175 SMK's, so I'm thinking of using Vhita for the 168 AMAX's. Not sure which one to go with though, N140 or N150. I've read a few other people here are using N150 as a Varget replacement.
