Any experience with the Nosler CC 155 BTHPs?

[MudBug]

I got a bunch of these awhile ago for a good price and though they might work well for some of our local matches. Max distance is usually about 500 yards.

I know the 168s (which I also got a bunch of) are GTG, but I can't find much info about the 155s.

They were my go-to round when I was shooting 300 yard F Class type matches at Fort Wolters. You can drive them way fast and are forgiving with the load work up.

Any tips on whether they like to jump or be loaded into the lands?

Any load data?

you can jump them fine. My AICS mag length doesn't get to the lands on my SPS-V factory barrel.

Thank you.

I did work up some loads previously before I had the barrel set back and rechambered with an Obermeyer Match reamer. I believe I ended up around 46.1 grns of Varget.

Obviously I will have to start again with this new chamber. I was just looking for what others had done and their opinions of the bullets since I had considered just bulk loading them for my FAL, but felt they might be good for our local practical precision matches.

I've started using the 155CC's and they are GTG. Have to jump them, due to chamber length. Ballistics seem to track very closely with the Sierra 155SMK(2155).

43.1 gr 4895 out of my DPMS LR308, 2815fps. For the price you can beat them.
