I don't like to go heavier than 165 gr in the 308.220's take up too much powder space.
I've been playing with some Nosler 175 grain Custom Competition match hpbt's and Winchester 760 powder with good results in my .308 Hog Hunter. Last summer I picked up a pound and a half of Royal Scot shotgun powder that works wonderfully in my .45 Long Colt.
I also got a pound of IMR4350 in the deal, and I'm going to load some Sierra 220 grain Matchkings on top of that. The Hog Hunter has a 20" barrel, with a 10" twist. I'm interested to see how these 220's will behave.
Is anyone else shooting these from a .308?

"...shall not be infringed" What's the confusion?
I like 175 SMKs out to 1000yds. They usually run 2600-2700fps, 220's would probably be pretty slow. They'd probably still be affective within short hunting distances though.
Personally I would save anything heavier than 180gr for a 300WM or equivalent.

Wind won't mess with them. Drop will be similar to a hand grenade.I'm interested to see how these 220's will behave.
