Range Report Hunting Shack .308 175gr

Re: Hunting Shack .308 175gr

I'm favorable on other HSM loads.

69-gr .223 loads gave the best groups ever in a Colt HBAR with lousy barrel just before it completely crapped out.

168s in .308 were just as good as FGMM in a factory-barrel M700 a few months ago.

I just can hardly find any of it around to know more. It's #1 on my factory ammo list, since I've begrudged Federal for price gouging since BEFORE everyone else caught up with them.

I *know* that Federal doesn't pay the same price for Sierras that I have to...
 
Re: Hunting Shack .308 175gr

I've shot many cases of the 175 Sierra BTHP load by HSM as well as tons of their AMAX loads for the 168 and 178 AMAX. They have all shot on par with the Fed loads in both our personal and department GAP rifles. I'm prejudiced since they are a Mt company, but it shoots great and they have always been great to deal with as well. Mike Dominick
