    Accuracy 308 load now deer tested

    Earlier this year I posted an accuracy load I worked up for 308 WIN from wheel weight allow and a powder coated bullet. It performed superbly earlier this week on a little buck. Entered behind the shoulder and exited through the neck. Shot was short range, but very brushy. Very pleased with performance: great pass through, about 35 yards and he fell over, appropriate amount of damage to lungs without destroying the shoulder.

    Entrance and exit wounds attached.

    Nice shooting! Is that the 311041 clone with 30.5 4895? May give that a spin in my Kimber84, well lubed instead of coated.
