I have been using IMR 4064 for years with exceptional accuracy. 165 gr. Speer B.T.S.P. #2034.That sounds good, I will be loading some up about Monday, I was thinking about using varget
Both have been excellent from my experience. I shot 140 grain Hornady btsp for 30 years in a 270 win. Different gun and gullet but the quality of bullets speaks for itself. The reputation Sierra has is also very good. Can't go wrong with either. I would let the decide what it likes best.Hello, I was wondering what you all thought about this bullet in a 308, it might be the GameChanger now, supposed to be the same I think. Shots 200 250 yards and closer ,out of a Tikka . I've also have Hornady 150gr btsp. What do you think. Thanks
Aabout the only thing I use Sierra's or hornady's for is targets. Wasted a whole box of 110 gr interbonds in my Winchester 25-06, trying unsuccessfully, to develop a consistent load. Sierras, and especially the game changers, just vaporize at 264 win mag velocities. I tend to gravitate towards swift a-frames and sciroccos, as well as speer hot cors. I may try some 104 grain hammers in my 25-06 this year when I go to Michigan deer hunting. So far they're showing some good accuracy out of my ruger no 1 in 25-06, so we'll see.Both have been excellent from my experience. I shot 140 grain Hornady btsp for 30 years in a 270 win.

I also use the Hornady 168 gr. A-Max with the same charge of IMR 4064. Works great.I have used 165grn. .308 on Alabama for decades. 2600fps. IMR 3031, 4064, 4350 shot neck or spine. None lost. Limited meat damage.
I have used both the Sierra and the Hornady bullets you are mentioning in my Rem. 760 308 on Pa and Montana whitetails. Ranging from 50 to 350 yds. Haven't had on go more than 60 yds. Only on has had a lot of meat damage from hitting both shoulders. I am pleased with both so whichever shoots the best in your rifle. Good luck and happy hunting.Hello, I was wondering what you all thought about this bullet in a 308, it might be the GameChanger now, supposed to be the same I think.

Yep. Seen that before. Really ****es me off. Neck? Nope. Too much good meat on the neck. It's either a lung/heart shot or a pass for me.Neck shots are fine, and my favorite inside 150 yds. Don't do heads any more. Too easy to miss low (head movement) and cripple with a jaw blown off. Just saying....
I try to be careful if the heart as it's one of my favorite parts. I got to try the neck now!Yep. Seen that before. Really ****es me off. Neck? Nope. Too much good meat on the neck. It's either a lung/heart shot or a pass for me.
