Accuracy with Lee 312 tl160

[Kevins750]

I bought the 6 cavity mold for my x39 AR and it works well for that.
Recently I have been trying to get some accuracy in my 308 with it
And not having any luck.

I am looking for a boolit to perform out to 300 on steel with some consistency.
Been having excellent groups at 50 with the Lee 309 170gr and 312 185gr boolits,

All 3 boolits are sized .311 gas checked, coated and lubed and also some just checked and lubed.
I am seating all boolits as close to the lands as I can get them.

I have used unique and 2400 with all 3 boolits and still no luck with the 160tl. I really want the 160's to work
Because I can make big batches quick and they seem like the bc on them would be higher.

Any suggestions?

I shoot that bullet out of my 308's, a Mauser 98 rebarelled and an H&R Handi Rifle.

I use 18.5 gr of 2400 in both guns and they are good out to 200 yards, the furthest I have tried them.

I would try pushing them harder.

That's 2.5 more grains than I have tried them at. What fps are you getting?


********UPDATE************

17.5 and 18.5 grs of 2400 shot terrible at 100yds for me......
