Well sir, I have 125 SSTs I was using for 300BO. I have a bunch of Benchmark. I reckon I am going to be testing those in 308. Thank you sir. You are a wealth of information.

Good luck to you on your load development. Thanks for watching.

Use the 125 gr SST in my .30-06 SPR with VV N550 for 3259 fps. Excellent accuracy and velocity from a Tikka T3 Lite SS with a 22" barrel. Took my biggest buck a few years ago in SoTX with that load and rifle. Good luck and stay safe!!! 😉😉😉

Thanks for posting and letting us see your results. Id like to try the Barnes ttsx in 130 grain in the future after my 168 run out. Though from what i hear from our friends on the other side of the frog pond in England, thier prety nasty on deer, so they hunt with the heavier rounds to slow the bullet down to do less damage.

I don't really know until I try the 125's on deer. But the 150 SST's do a fine job indeed.

Good stuff sir

I'm stuck at home post foot surgery, so it is very satisfying to watch your video if I can't get out and do some shooting of my own! What model Savage were you shooting today? Thanks, Dave!

Really nice, Dave. Love it when you get a 308 cruising over 3k. Have you ever worked up a Copper Expander projectile that theoretically would hold together better?

Testing an all copper 85 grain in a .243 Win. but not an an animal yet.

Great stuff Dave. was wondering if you have a semi auto rifle and work up that same load. I have the remington R25 in 308.

Not in 308 Win. But I just got a new .243 Win BCA complete rifle that I will be testing the same loads fired in my Bolt actions.

Mr. Strohmeyer i have a savage 110 storm 30-06 with a 22 barrel that’s fast like your 308 . With factory ammo I see 100 to 150 over there listed velocity. When reloading I’m 2 or more grains from max with max velocity. I tend to stick with the max velocity. Where did you see pressure signs the most with hitting velocity max or closer to max powder. For example with one grain under Speer starting load with 165 grain I’m at 2835 in velocity. I’m trying to keep as much powder in the case as to not build pressure with low case fill.

@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009

In my case only certain powders such as CFE-223 and BLC-2 showed excessive velocity at 2-3 grains below listed max. Varget powder gave me close to book listed velocity without pressure signs. The most notable pressure sign from my rifle was sticky bolt lift.

Nice! Liking the light bullet loads. I’m working on some 150 grain loads in 30-06. What is the best velocity you’ve seen with that particular combo if you have tried it?

Yes, 150 grain in the 30-06 and the similar Speer Gold Dot as well. Never recovered one yet as they completely pass through deer size game.

Dave does your chronograph calculate SD or do you do it yourself. If so what is the formula? Boy that Savage has a sticky action to it. Too bad.

The magnetospeed does the shot speed, the average, the SD's and ES. and displays each on the screen.

Quick question what is the twist rate on your rifle, Is it 1-10 or 1-12? I know some 308 rifle are 1-12 twist where most are 1-10 twist rate rifling.

According to Hornady Ballistics calculator. SST 125 gn. .305 BC, 3,125 MV, 100yd zero. Energy at 300 yds, 1,481 lbs and 11 inch drop.

Winchester long rifle primers? I guess you meant winchester large rifle. Careful of those lot numbers. Thin at the edge where it cups. Pinholes.

Yes slip of the toungue, I do that allot. I like Winchester "Large Rifle" primers, as in my testing they give consistant ignition on both medium and medium-slow burning powders, contributing to the best velocity performance.

That is not great accuracy!!! 😟

Sometimes during load development finding out what doesn't work out well happens.
