Dang, I’m glad these recent comments showed up on my notifications. I completely forgot I even bought components for 308. I’ve yet to load any. Maybe I can press out a few very soon.
Life gets busy and “poof”, months go by

Gotta do it!

Picked up my rifle Wednesday and finally got to load a few small primer brass. I chose to use some cci #200 primers, RL15, and Nosler 150gr Nosler BT projectiles. Weather deteriorated really quick and had to stop early due to lightning. Our local range was once covered, but hurricane Ida decided we do not need shelter.
My first test load was 43 grains and produced a decent group. Then I moved on to 44gr and I honestly don’t know if it was the load, or me, but it was horrible. The rain and wind had started picking up. Finally before calling it quits I quickly put 3 Norma 150gr soft points down range.
Prior to shooting the hand loads I had shot 15 of the Norma soft points.
I really need to get a good bag to shoot from, that Caldwell stinger is horrible and difficult to get a good steady hold.
Anyways here are the results so far. Next trip I’ll go out to our gun club and take out to 200-600 yards.
