Ron-

Been looking over my notes, seems I have a Ranch Dog 312299 that drops a 209gr bullet. I thought it was 195. I need to get in there and look around.

With all of that heat you are experiencing down in Texas, I highly recommend buying some 150-gr flat-base .308 bullets, and then loading up a box full with 44 grains of 4895 which should give you 2,550 fps.  It is a very pleasant shooting and an accurate load in my old Springfield, and my Single Shot high-wall rifle doesn’t complain about it either.

Found them. Figure I’ll fire a few this weekend, barrel should be cooled off enough to fire another group by next weekend.

 

All kidding aside I have most of a box of Hornady 150gr Spire Points.

All these .30 cal J word bullets and only one partial box of flat base….  Guess I’ll try them and if they do well, I’ll get more…
