I shoot several AR’s in 6.8 SPC. Currently a 12.5” and a 16”. Both have ARP barrels. I settled on AA2200 as my go to powder for 90gr...

The Barnes 150 tsx .3030 bullet has one heck of a big hollow point. Will open up at .30-30 speed for sure and penetrate like a mono...

Nah--- you can't kill anything with the measley 30-30-------nobody has ever killed anything with a 30-30 Can you hear me smirking? Dont...

Consider the Maker Rex 150 grain also. Maker does a good job of having their bullets have a low impact rating to open. I think Swift...

You know…. The interlocks I tried were old old stock. I bought a box of new but never tried them, considering how poorly the old bullets...

Long ago and far away,I had a good friend with the same exact problem with a .375 H&H . People will call me nuts,so I should probably...

I don’t understand why, but the 270gr Speer are nearly one hole and the 270gr interlock are 5” (no joke). Same load, same seating depth...
