In search of that perfect combination has cost me a lot of powder and bullets. I loaded up about 250 rounds for this weekend.
I had high hopes that I would find a good load with some Hornady 150 grain interlocks and some BLC-2. I guess it did ok I got under 1" at 100 yards, but honestly I was hoping for a little better.
And no surprise the best performer of the the day was IMR 4064 with a 175 grain SMK. Of course it works really well since 4064 is about impossible to load with on a progressive.
I also tried some Hornady HPBT over some Varget. They also show some promise. But I now have just under a pound of that left.
All in all it was a fun day but I was really hoping to find a good combo with the BLC-2. After all it's going to take a lot of time to keep a semi auto 308 fead.
