Anyone running Hornady American Whitetail 150g .308 through their Axis XP? How does this rifle like them?

talking the factory loads. local shop has them at a decent price and i got intrigued :) i guess hornady came out with this load specifically for whitetail size game and only in the most popular deer calibers. just wasnt sure if it was more a marketing gimmick or an actual good round?

only thing i can do is run em through my axis and see how they are :) thats half the fun though right?

I ran a box through my .308 m11. They grouped around 1.5-2 inch group. I feel they would group better if I had more rounds down range with this gun.
I would try them again if I found them again.

As far as I can tell they are basically interlock bullets with their proprietary powder charges. I'm assuming they have come up with some concoction that beats what we can hand-load?

their data says the .308 load is a 150gr Interlock going 2,820fps, nothing special, matches all the other standard factory offerings. reloaders can best that speed with a few different powders.

I've shot it through my new 10 THXP. The 15 rounds shot over the course of three range trips averaged 2822 fps 10' from the muzzle. Accuracy for three 5-shot groups averaged about 2".

Weathers been cold, snowy, and windy around these parts. May get up in the 40's next week and if so I might hit the range with this round. Will let yeas know what I get out of them.

I bought 2 boxes for my girlfriends 25-06 since I didn't trust her to not hit shoulder with my SST loads. They shot so poorly that I thought her scope took a crap. Like 3" "group"s at best at 100 yards. Went back to hand loads and 5 in a half inch... I love hornady products for what they cost, but I'll never purchase these again. Still have a box and a half sitting on the shelf to pull apart and use as brass for her varmint rounds.

American whitetail!
First shot was low! I adjusted! The next 4 shots were on the money! 100 yards ... My 30-06 has only seen hornady! Superformance and american white tail

[thermaler]

As the old saying goes; "there's no accounting for taste." : ) Seriously--that's nice shootin.

[robert2286]

Thanks... I shot the first shot! Adjusted! Shot 2 more and told my buddy to
Ck it out from his scope! He asked if he could shoot my rifle! I said but yes of course! He shot 2 rounds and we got them 4 group! 2 days later he bought a savage! Lol! He has older winchester rifles and there great but he wanted new technology that work... He shot it and felt in love!
