RE: .308 Ballistic Tips.
I tried the 150 Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertips in my model 788, .308 a few years ago. They did pretty good i killed two with them. I heard alot of talk about how fragile they were and that you only wanted to shoot them in wide open spaces. I shot into alot brush on a small buck, luckily i must not have hit any limbs because i hit the buck right behind the front shoulder. It did fragment inside him though, i had about 4 exit holes. They werent too bad off bullets though i prefer the 165 Trophy Bonded Bearclaws.

right out of the Nosler reload book...WW748 i think it was 48 gr. will give 3000 fps..it works fine with no sighns of excess pressure, and is right acurate to boot!! i get MOA with my model 7 and blr.

RE: .308 Ballistic Tips.
I need to correct myself, thats why i keep the books and not rely on memory. It is in the 48th reloading manual from Lyman..and it is 50 gr of 748 with the 150 gr bullet, and it is 2996 fps, the pressures are the lowest listed for any other powder listed..only 43,200C.
I use 48 gr because it is the same weight as i use for my 358 Win. Guess i am lazy, but it works well in both.
