Two weeks ago I took delivery of a Vanguard .308 that will be my dedicated cast bullet rifle. It has 24" barrel, 1:12" and topped with an older Leupold VX-2, 3-9X40.
On my first outing, I got horrible results with Bullseye, not as bad with unique, and sort of good with Red Dot. I am shooting 165 Ranch Dogs, gas checked wheel weight equiv alloy. The accuracy is there, I just have to find it.
For the time being I am using pistol powders because that's about all I can get. Does anyone have experience with using 231/HP38 or Clays for 200 yard loads. I would like to get 1400-1500 fps and an accurate load.
Red Dot has dried up around here, but I have half a caddy of Clays and a full 8 pound caddy of HP38. Until things calm down, the 165 ranch dog is the only one I have.
Thanks for your help.
