Been waiting to see that here on the hide. Couldn't figure out why that bullet wasn't getting any love here?
 
Im making some ladder loads right now. 5 in each string. The load press just like any other projectile but do require a very slight crimp to fully seat in my Sheridan Gauge
 
mag length, rifle specs, reloading method. Looking forward to this thread.
 
Please provide empirical data!
Barrel length
Twist rate& # of grooves
COAL
Jump
Load Data
Looking forward to information
Thanks!
 
24" Criterion 1-10 mounted on a PSA rifle. Running an Elftmann 3.5 straight drop in. Optic is a Nightforce SHV 5-15×50 in a Warne 20 MOA cantiliever mount. The only thing im unhappy with at the moment is the handguard. im running a Midwest 12" which was fine with the 18" barrel it came with but not so much with the 24". However, none of my other spares fit the weird Gen 2 PSA threads. The factory barrel was actually very accurate. I was getting .75 MOA using handloaded Lehigh Defense 155 Match projectiles and CFE223.
 
Wonder why no one talks about Lehigh anymore. I tried them years again in a 338 LM. Dident work for me but some swore by them. Be interesting to hear your experiences.
 
The Lehigh shoot great out of my rifles, ive been using them for quite a while. I wanted some with a better BC which is why im trying the Alco. I really wanted to try the Warners but damn they are expensive
 
The most hated man on "The Hide" did a YouTube review on them. I don't really remember how much he went into it but here's the link.
 
What did he do to earn that title (im relatively new here)
He just repeats known information as his own, or that it’s hard to shoot long range, he talks for hours saying nothing. He knows some stuff to sound like a top shooter. Long winded and self grandiose importance.
 
I thought I read or saw something somewhere saying the alco bullets make the 308 similar to a 300 winmag. May of been the video that was posted.
 
Tagged, subscribed, etc. damn that’s a sexy bullet! Curious on the setup data as well, jump/off the lands, COAL, etc...
