I've used the 160gr 2r boolit in 7.5 Swiss and 308. Not impressed with accuracy in either one.

I've also tried the TL312-160, sized to .310, in my K-31 with only mediocre results. On the other hand, the 312-155-2R, also sized to .310, pretty much matches Privi FMJs for 100M accuracy in the same rifle. Go figure.

Use the 155 at .311 in my 03A3 with outstanding results out to 200 yds using Unique and 2400. target on far right is a 100 yd. 10 rd group with issue sights.

the 155 in my savage 110 30-06 works great. Slug your barrel to get a good fit. .311 with gas check, 28 gr. imr 4895 with dracon filler. fps should be around 1850.

If hunting bigger game like deer the ranch dog 30 cal. with a big flat front is a SUPBERB boolit
P.S. the 155 also works very well in my sks

Shoot the TL version .312-160 gr. in my 300 Sav. gas checks applied with the Lee .310 push through sizer after ranch dipping the bullets in my Alox/JPW mix. 16.0 grs. of Alliant 2400 is a nice accurate load out of my Sav. 99.

Same bullet gets double duty in my SKS and Mosin rifle with equal or better results I use the Lee .314 size for those rifles.

Sized .310 for Sav.

i have used the 160 in my 300 win mag using reduced loads. i have had very good accuracy, .462" 100 yard 5 shot groups. but if you try to drive them fast, i have had leading issues. whether that is because of the tl grooves, or my alloy, the lube, or ??? i am not sure.

[Me not you]

I'm planning to use these in my Mini-30, using wheel-weight alloy. I'd like to work up to about 2000fps. Assuming I don't mess up some of the "variables", looks like they might work.
