![]() Shot was about 130 yards I hit the animal in the forehead, and there was very minimal bullet expansion, in fact the bullet didn't even exit. I harvested a Sika this past August with a Hornady 165-grain SST with 13 grains of the Trailboss. Soundguy, I am not aware of a bullet mfg called "aim" can you elaborate? ![]() ![]() Do any of you guys have any experience with other powders and loads? When you referred to a 220-grain 300 Blk, is there one brand better than another, or am I going to need to rely on trial-by-error? Also, do you guys know if bullet mfgrs like Hornady, Nosler, Speer, Barnes etc, have load data available that is not in their manuals for powder recommendations for suppressed loads? As I mentioned initially, I have used IMR Trailboss. normally I don't refer to the cartridge in NATO terms, so honestly I just made a terminology mistake. JLA, I know I said 7.69 but I meant 7.62. In addition, once I shoot the hogs with a non-supressd load I can pretty much forget about harvesting a large Axix or Whitetail buck because he will be heading for the next county by he time I chamber another round.Hence i thought the supressor wouldincrease my odds. Prior to getting my supressor, when I shot full loads I had to wait until two hogs got side by side and could shoot the front pig in the ear, in order to harvest two pigs, but when there are twenty hogs under the feeder, it was a shame for so many other to get away. The pigs on my lease are praying that no one in this forum can help me! Does anyone in this forum know which bullet this is and most importantly what powder and load weight is that I need to use, and of coarse where I may get the bullet and powder. He is not a reloader and doesn't know anything about the round other than it is chambered for their standard bolt action 7.69 rifle with a suppressor and make noise. I have a good friend in the Army that says the Army uses a bullet that is accurate to 600 meters, and travels at 750fps with devastaing expansion. Basically it only drills a hole, so that means I can only rely on head shots. Also, because the bullet is moving sub-sonic when it hits the game there is little to no bullet expansion/ fragmenting, hence extremly limited knock-down. Here are my problems: First more than 15 grains makes too much noise and startles the game too much yet <13 grains and the bullet hits (eratically) 4-6" off bull. The powder I have found to be most effective is 13-15 grains of IMR Trailboss with a Federal 210 primer. Speer is consitantly 2" to right of bull. My best results have been with the Hornady, then the Nosler. Due to the scarcity of bullets we all have been aware of, I have been using 165 grain Speer GS, 165 grain Nosler green tips, and/ or 165 grain Hornady SST. So I purchased an Advanced Armament supressor for my Ruger M77 Scout and have been trying to develop an effective suppressed handload for a 1:10 twist barrel. Any of you that have hunted hogs know that you get one, maybe two shots before they disappear. 308's for hunting Axis, Whitetail, and Feral hogs. I'm new, as of this morning to this forum, so I apoligize in advance if this is a dead horse topic, but here goes.įor about two years I've been reloading.
