  14. #[...]  Does anyone know of a light .308 bullet that is
  15. #fragile and sleek?  I don't suppose Hornady makes a .308 version of their
  16. #.223 'super explosive' bullet, eh?  (Rumored to work most impressively).

  18. I just loaded a few Nosler 125 gr Ballistic Tip Boat Tails in .308.  With
  19. 50.0 gr of W748, these (according to Hornady data) should run at about 
  20. 3100 fps.  That sounds like a pretty good varmit load to me.  I haven't 
  21. tried these out yet, so stay tuned for further reports.
