    Setting up for the weekend hog hunt

    Always looking for a better mouse trap.
    I had some Benchmark powder laying around, so i decided to try a 115 grain lehigh defense controlled Chaos solid copper bullet pushed by 48 grains. book says 3100fps.

    should be a deadly combination on bigger hogs, maybe I'll find out this weekend, rain got them stirred up, maybe I'll run into big boy!

      308! got the load from lehigh website on 16.5" barrel.
      I'll be shooting a 16" ar10 , so i imagine it should be close.

      I've used the same bullet in my 300 blk and it does ok , it should however be pretty devastating 600 to 800 fps faster ...

      i'll see if they shoot good and try to chrono them this weekend

        Sounds good. I had pretty good results with Benchmark. The load was with a 150 gn Nosler BT , out of an 18” barrel.

                No luck, they showed up the night I went home right after dark... they have been coming in every 3 to 4 days lately, just got to catch them at the right time I guess

                  I'm actually putting the ar10 for sale in the classified. I prefer my RPR! much more gentle on brass and i don't have to chase brass. we'll see ... may try to do a hunt video too..
