Through good advise here I have loaded up some 125 grain Sierra Pro Hunter bullets for my sons 308 and have been impressed. First, I did it for lower recoil and a few people here have commented about the known accuracy. Well I can say they are the most accurate rounds I have ever produced! Thanks to those who advised me of this. The lil Remington 700 sps 20" barrel will shoot them right under .5 MOA on any day ending in y, as long as you hold up your end! We've been messing around shooting steel and it is dead on up to 570 yds! Then, past that, I guess its coming down to trans-sonic and doing crazy things. My brother gave me a box of 180 grain pro hunters and I was thinking of loading them for my 300 wm. for shooting long. Is this a good idea , or is the wind going to push it around too much? It seems like everyone uses boat-tails for this reason, I have limited experience on this. The flat base bullet seems very forgiving when reloading.
