So this is basically geared as a hunting round?

Wow a Vmax and 8208 doing that well. I am impressed.

Not my groups unfortunately, Bruce doing some testing. 8208 is a very accurate powder, the only drawback with it is you lose a little velocity, but you can use it in a broad array with suitable speeds and I've found you can really pack it in. The great accuracy really doesn't start till you get near max.

This was one of Bruce's early load developments with a 140gr. Nosler Ball. Tip. I like this pic cause it demonstrates perfectly why we load ladder checks, max may be fast and may be what a particular round wants but usually there is a sweet spot that can be found by slowly stepping up the charges as you can see here.

No, I would be eatin Ramen noodles. Always wanted to try one though and knowing this thing is gonna have a bit more recoil I want to try and get it smooth as possible. I've noticed even the .308 carriers are starting to get lighter to mitigate the recip factor. So low mass carrier, tunable capture spring, and adjustable block on rifle gas is about everything I can think of to tame the beast.
