Rifle is a PSA 16" upper (FF forearm, SPC II 1:11) on a RRA lower w/Gieselle. DD collapsible for the lil flat that fits well in the rear bag. Game to consider is smallish (<200#) NC deer and hog that are mostly <250#. Ranges are from 'right there" to as far as ya feel froggy for. But I hate bad hits so I'm keepin it down to <300yds with this gear.
Been reading and reading on the 115 Gold Dots for 6.8 anywhere I can find. I've tried a quite a few different loads, but nothing is really standing out except for the fact that nothing is standing out just yet.

Been working mostly with 120gr SSTs and 115 GDs. Got a pile of the SSTs around, but for some reason I wanna run the 115GDs instead. Prolly cause those 125 SST's in the 308 have been so damn messy and ruin a lotta meat. Velocities have been fine (2300-2550ish) Not so concerned with that for the l'il yardage involved. But most groups are from just over an inch to 2" @ 100yds. Can't say I'm using the best bench technique (or bench), but reasonable enough I'd expect better.
Got a few powders on hand- H322, H335, CFE-223, H4198 etc). Gobs of H335. Everything BUT the AA2000 which seems to be the most popular. There's prolly a reason for that.
Been tryin different OAL's. Brass is properly prepped, weighed and matched. CCI primers. Crimp and no crimp. Yadda yadda.
.
Just wonderin if I'm missing something or is AA2200 just THAT good with this cartridge as opposed to most others. Thanks.. d:^)
