What can I expect from a .308 HB Survivor.
« on: January 18, 2008, 03:42:59 PM »
 Just some input is needed. If you have found a good load that has worked for you ...pass it on....
it will be appreciated. My standard Varget load of with 168 gr. internationals  BR primers
seems to provide some very nice groups. Just curious to see if anyone has a good load for 150 gr SP.

I owned a 308 BB but was unable to fit it up to the frame I wanted, so I have yet to actually shoot this one in a Handi. But my advice, for what it's worth, and what I have been followed, is to load them long as with many Handi's the throat is long. This one for the most part is no exception.
But a few members around here have found the right combination for theirs and I am sure will chime in soon..

I don't reload yet but I am shooting MOA of a bench with a bipod using Federal Fusion (I pretty sure 150 grain) Don't know if this will help or not.

I Have a 308 Survivor bull barrel in camo lams, accuracy with the 168gr TSX Match with Varget is very good, no problems reaching the lands with the TSX. ;)
