No problem, check out 68forums.com. There's a wealth of information on there about the cartridge. I have an LWRC Six8 that I have yet to load for as I bought a case of XM68GD and still have a bunch of rounds left. If you intend to hunt with it, I'd recommend trying to find a comparable bullet...
It was well under MOA. It was for my brothers 6.8. We built the gun with economy parts and had it shooting very well. I'll go look in my gun room too see if I've still got any of the data written somewhere.
Here's a barebones list of stuff you'll need:
A press
.300 BO brass cases
Case lube
Dies and shell holder (Full length and bullet seater)
Dial Calipers
Case trimmer *not every case needs to be trimmed every time* (Lee makes a cheap handheld that works fine, or see the L.E. Wilson mini lathe...
Never used it, but I’d say it’s probably not worth the time or money. I doubt a software program can account for the particular harmonics of your rifle.
Hi Everyone,
I was just remembering Ol' Hook and thought about him showing me a bullet that he called "the most efficient killing round".
It was a 168 SMk with a crimped head. I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to how he did this and what the effects of doing so will have on the...
Depends on what you shoot. I personally found the best success with 77gr SMK's in my 1/7" AR's. Buying a production 77gr load will run around $1. Handloading to the same velocity costs me around $0.40.
Run a 175gr Berger or SMK to 2.8" OAL and you should be good in both guns. You can check your chamber in the Savage and stretch them a bit longer. If you're going to batch load for both guns, load to the Mega's magazine length.
