Any 308 110 gr Vmax loads ??

[Dennis]

You can get Hornady 110 TAP loads, pretty accurate in my 308!

[firemachine69]

Any particular reason? Recoil-reduction, etc.?

[tammons]

I have 2 boxes of them (200) left over from when I had my 7.62x39 and a 30BR.
They were great in the 7.62x39. Shot the best of all my loads. Killed a couple of deer
with them.

I will probably use them in 308 for target and use that load data to develop a reduced load
for the 308 diam Barnes 110 gr TSX. Later a 30-06 reduced load.

My Brother in law has a rotator cuff injury to his right shoulder and cant shoot his
very nice older Sako 308. That should work for him.

Also My father is 88 YO and he cant shoot either of his 30-06 rifles
or a 308.

I also dont mind using light barnes TSX bullets myself. I have a good load lineup
that will allow me to shoot either 110 TSX or vmax, 130 tipped TSX or 220 gr
prohunters out of my 308 with the same scope settings with a Leupold LR retical.

That said I used a 6.8 spc for a while and my dad still has one.
The 270 110 gr and 85 gr barnes TSX are wicked medicine for deer and hogs so the
308 110 grain TSX shoudl do fine too.

I will probably try a couple of hog head shots with the 110 gr vmax when I get it dialed in.

I have some test loads set up to take to the range next week.

I got a load you might want to check out.

Lapua brass
Fed 210m primer
46.0 gr Varget
110 V-max .308
COAL 2.750" base to tip

Gives me sub half MOA 5 shot groups at 100 yards out of my Sav 10.

[tammons]

That looks promising. HAve you chonographed that load ??

[Galveston22]

No wish I could. I'm guessing 2950ish.

[learjet]

ive used 46- 48g of varget, cci 200 w the same results in my mcgowen 1 in 10. ill post the crony info friday night when i get home

[tammons]

If you dont mind, post the COL and length of your barrel, jumped, jammed etc.

[learjet]

26" mcgowen large shank, bull
winnie case, cci200, 48.5 varget, 110vmax, 2.700, jumpin alot, no way to getem near the lands. 3150ish ES 25, SD 12. funny, my sierra 110hps are 125 fps faster w the same load, and have better ES/SD...but they fall apart at distance quicker. both shoot fine groups. this particular barrel is the only one i currently own that couldnt give a hoot if im close to the lands. makes life ez. btw, i have a moderate Lee factory crimp onem...they function fine and shoot well though my m1a as well

GL!

like to hear how they work for u as well

Yes the Sierra 110's are actually more accurate in my rifle at 100 yards. Same load but i use 2.650" base to tip. Shoots half inch 5 shot groups.
