Worked up a few batches of 165s - Ballistic tips and Speer BTSPs. Wasn't even trying to work off the lands, just seated the bullets to make sure to fit in the magazine since this is a hunting sporter. Well - well at the nice surprise. I have a Remington 308 that I shoot LR that likes Varget for168s, but two Model 70s with hunting bullets (Sierras and Speers) in 165s love IMR-3031. It's my go-to powder for these hunting bullets in the Winchester sporters. Shot at 100 yards ... 1/4" group with the three shots through 2 touching holes, and the Accurate 2495 produced 5/8" group. The ballistic tips were a little over an inch, so they were very respectable, but I'll take the speers any day of the week. You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

Was just looking for decent accuracy for 150 yds and in. The charges were all upper levels, so I would hope they were at least 2600. I'll carry the chrono next time.
