Shoot it with .38 special cartridges to practice trigger control and function drills (less recoil). Save your .357 for hunting, self protection, and familiarization fire. The weight of the bullet is not overly important, construction is. hollow points for self defense and hunting medium game. Rule of thumb? Light weight and fast for humans, heavy weight and slower for medium game.

SOURCE: Have sighted in a .308 w/150 grain. After

This is a cold barrel warm barrel thing. When cold she shoots dead on. Try to space out you pratice to keep the barrel cool. When the gun warms up things do expand and it can cause the reciver to bind the scope. Also can cause the barrel bore to increse and let gases by pass the bullet causing lower exit speed of the round.

SOURCE: I got in a tight spot needing a scope last season.

well one day you may lurn that cheap is cheap! and tasco is rubbish cheap! i would say without dought the cross hair in the scope has shaken apart,,,due to recoil,,,a 30-06 has a big recoil
try holding the rifle stock on your jaw and firing the rifle off?
when or if,, you wake up in hospital with a shaterd jaw and with no teeth left in it you will know then! and cheap tasco scope is an air rifle scope it cant take 2500ft/lbs of recoil???
so it wont take much of a kick to mess it up,,
i put one on a 303 enfield??? i got 3 shots before it fell to bits!
if your going to buy cheap scope's go for nicon gold crown?

What is the best velocity for 155.5 hybrid Berger bullet, using a target rifle, 308 cal. Am powder tuning at this time and would like some pointers. i.e. where to start, what powder grains with 8208 ADI...

It looks like your average velocities with this grain of bullet are anywhere from 2400 to 2900 feet per second. As far as the powder goes in between 39.0 to 43.0 grains is where i would start testing my hand loads.

What is the differance between 150 and 170 grain in a 30-30 bullet

Generally, heavier bullets are better for knockdown power and lighter bullets are faster. Also, the construction of the bullet itself -- for hunting, soft points or hollow points, of course -- should be taken into account. Although .30-30s have accounted for lots and lots of deer being shot over the century or so they've been around, they are not ideal. I'm a gun guy, not a hunter, but you might want to check what some fellow hunters in your area are using. JERRY AHERN
