The title pretty well sums it up.

It's all chicken, even the beak!
Right now I am loading the Lee 309-200-rn, ACWW + 2% tin, using IMR 4895, PC'ed with gas-check, sized .311" and have the speed up to 2100 fps, with very good accuracy.
Rifle is Remington 700, .308 Winchester, and have added HS Precision stock.

Have been loading the Lyman 314299 sized to 0.311" over 21.5 gr of SR4759 or, alternatively, 22.5 gr of Alliant 300MP for about 1800 fps. Both are accurate for me. Rifle is a Rem 700 with 20" barrel.

Lately, I have been loving the custom NOE 311299 200 grain Hollow point over 31gr of Varget.. a killer black bear load... I cast them from #2 lead with a home made alum gas check, and been shooting them from my Rem 783...

Any 150-180gr boolits over 18 gr of 2400 works in my savage 116 .
Tikka T3 hunter with a Saeco 315, 21.8 grn of enforcer, WLR seated to the lands gives me 1850 FPS and 1 MOA at 100 yrds.
Drops 12" to 14" at 200 yrds.
I'm just starting to increase the charges to get up to 2200 FPS and see what happens.

NOE 311-195 FNGC and 24.5 gr IMR 4198 for 1800 fps in a 700 Remington. 10 shot groups at 100 yds are always less than 2". Mean radius averages .5".
Hopelessly afflicted with a life long addiction to the rifled bore!
Two things always make me smile, powder smoke wafting down the firing line and the ring of a Garand clip hitting the ground.
Lee 113 or 170 FP. With Red Dot or 2400 right now. Todd/3leg
My Savage model 10 has a nice tight chamber and best load to date is the Lee C309-180-R over 19gr 2400 the bullet is sized .309 bands and .301 nose. Lubed or powder coated both group very well. Gp
