I started about 14 months ago casting for the 308 (and 30-30) my most accurate is the Lee 170 grain RF powder coated and gas checked with IMR 4227. I logged well over 1000 hours last year at the reloading bench and shooting the rifle both at target and game.
I did take several hogs before deer season came in but I also lost unrecovered hogs that I know I hit. I had enough mixed results this deer season that halfway through deer season I put the cast bullets down and picked up the jacketed bullets to finish season out. now that seasons over I plan to pick it all back up and continue testing the 308 and cast bullets I would like to hear your personal experience with the 308 hunting and accuracy. Also I’d like to hear What you have to offer about the 3030
I think my long history shooting jacketed bullets taking shoulder shots has left me with a habit that the cast bullet may not be as predictive with. So shot placement would be my first. Bhn for ranch dog 170 and Lee RF 170? Speed powder coated? Distance the 308 cast capable (what should I expect)?
