Great looking rig. I think that is the perfect test platform.
Keep us all in the loop.

Scheels has boxes of 100 for $58 and change as of 12.13.21. I picked up a couple boxes to try.
Was that the Springs or Longmont Scheels?

Online.
I'll have them by the weekend so next week I should have the load developed. Will be in touch later.
Got the bullets thanks to Scheel's so I'll work on the load tomorrow and in a week I'll put them to the live test

How did the load work up go? I have a few boxed of these on the way too for my 300WM
Got delayed. I did my pressure testing with H1000. COAL to the lands was 3.677". Never really hit pressure much. I'm at 80.1 grains of H1000 and ES of 9 at that length. Will be shooting groups at various depths today. My velocity is averaging 3,090 fps. So I have no doubt with a couple other powders you could get them over 3,100' but I like H1000 in the win mag. I'll report back tonight on grouping.
I may try the majical powder RL26 just for grines.

How are the meplats on the 208s compared to the 215s?
They look identical to 215's and measure out the same with my pin gauges
I have not. I do have 2 boxes of them that I plan on trying on some hogs when I get back. I have a cow pasture that the hogs are coming into so I'm gonna sit on the hill and take some 700 yard shots at them at the first of the year after duck season. My some doesn't want me messing up his duck hunting right now lol.
Thanks.
I suspect there will not be much terminal difference between the 215's and 208 hybrids. Even the BC is only 0.002 difference. Base of the bullet to ogive is only 0.002" difference. Time will tell
