Unsichtbar,
I'm waiting for some 170 lb to come in so i can give them a go. Keep me posted on how they perform.

Re: 170 Lock Base
my brother ran them in his .308 for F-Class TR, and he had them at mag length. They were significantly better than the 175 sierra in BC, and he could run them a lot faster out of his rifle.

Re: 170 Lock Base
I've run the 150s, 170s and 185 D-46s and they're all pretty good.
Even have some 250s for my 338LM, but haven't shot them yet.

Re: 170 Lock Base
I've done some testing yesterday with 170 Lockbase:
Thun brass (Lapua is of same capacity and performance)
N540 46gr (i've tested it in extreme heat so perhaps add ,2-,5gr) <span style="font-weight: bold">might be a bit hot load!!</span>
COAL 74,7mm
RWS5341 primer
170 lockbase (hBN coated)
speeds = 2730-2800fps
On the picture are shots 2x45,8, 3x46, 2x 46,2 and to the right with different aiming point (to my surprise basicly overlapping if i'd use same aimpoint) 3x46,5.

Re: 170 Lock Base
Here are the two 10 shot groups i did yesterday when confirming my final 170lckbase load. Shot also some 155 scenar loads which also look good despite me pulling a few wide...
It was mixed load shooting as my intention was to confirm POI wouldn't change if i mixed (previously known good loads) loads so besides me pulling a few i'm pretty satisfied with result.
Final load is:
Thun/Lapua brass
RWS5341 or Murom LR primer
46.5 N540
170gr Lockbase (hBN coated)
COAL of 73mm
Speeds are around 2750fps and below 5°C add .5gr and above 35°C take away .5gr
Rifle was Tikka T3 Tactical 24" barrel

Re: 170 Lock Base
My favorite bullet for all out competition. My best groups are with LLB's.
Out of a bone stock AR30. IIRC, the COAL is 2.800"...
