Has anyone tried the Buffalo River 308Win yet?

Post by The Raven »

I've been impressed with the OSA and Buffalo river .223 rounds as both shoot much better than I can. So, has anyone tried the Buffalo River 308Win yet?

My plan is to shoot out the various 150 to 180gn rounds I have and then bulk buy some 135gn Buffalo River. This is based on some testing with 130gn Federal stuff, which is a lot more consistent. The reasoning being that 130ish gn is more accurate in my rifle...

Any thoughts, comments?

So you would rather an answer, even though obviously no one has shot the stuff ??

Besides which, they say that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness, and answering yourself is the second, so you have just proved it. :P

what's a quality rifle look like? Something you piece together for double the price of a regular rifle and sell a month after finishing it? :)

Yep.
Foxs n deer last weekend.
Plenty of penetration on fury critters and explosiveness.
I'ld have no hesitation using them on pigs,goats and if a red deer stood up.Bang him as well.

Shot plenty of pigs last weekend with them, would be dinamite on goats and smaller deer species.
Super accurate too.
