/ roestalker One of the group of loads I recently developed for my .308 Win Blaser R8. I used Hornady SST 165gr bullet, CCI200 primers, RWS brass and Vihtavuori N140 powder.
Most promising was 45gr load and 0.7" group @ 100m which is good enough for me in a hunting rifle.

Testowanie mojej elaboracji amunicji w sztucerze Blaser R8 .308 Win. Elaboracja oparta na pocisku Hornady SST 165 gr, spłonki CCI200, proch N140 i łuski RWS.
Najlepsza grupa 0.7" (~2cm) wyszła dla 45gr, co jest w zupełności wystarczające na moje potrzeby łowieckie.

Excellent work!
Thanks
Really nice
Great video as usual.
In my book everything under 5 cm at 100m is OK for hunting - your groups are very good...
Have a nice day.
+Stefan Wolf True 5cm is good enough for hunting the ranges I shoot, thanks for watching.
Very-very nice! Bravo!
+Voha Star (Arms channel UA) Thanks
best huntingrifle ever produced.
+smokin Joe I've not tried all the rifles yet, but will take your word for it :-)
You should elaborate more on (a) bullet selection (weight deviation margin), (b) brass prep- selection etc. Maybe it was showed in other videos.
Cool music and video
Very nice group for batch #4, I find that my R8 in 8x57IS really loves factory RWS in the 196gr round nose. Unfortunately, we don't get the RWS centerfire ammo here in the states easily.
+HeidelbergJaeger Thanks for the info, never tried RWS in this rifle.
Very nice
+ALBassMaster Thankd
Good afternoon! What kind of books on reloading do you use?
I love your videos! Helped me a lot choosing the right rifle and I just got delivery of my R8 in 308:) I wanted to ask how did you break in your barrel?
Glad you like my videos. To be honest, I did not break-in my barrel. I just started shooting, but if you want to just take your cleaning kit to the range and clean the barrel after each shot initially, then after two, three and so on... plenty of info on the web how to do it. I dont think I shoot well enough to see any benefit of this procedure and I needed to zero quick and go out hunting. Good luck with your new rfile
Have you tried fine tuning Load by varying seating depths also how far off lands are you with the 165g sst.
Never needed to play with the COL for this round sorry. I personally getting close to lands never worked for me, I start with SAAMI length or thereabouts and hardly ever have to adjust the length
Load 4 was deffo the best. No were near as much vertical stringing mate. I would recommend load another five up on that and shoot again on clean barrel. I believe the odd ball shot was either error on your part or bad loading?
Let me know your thoughts.
All the best J
+James Ward - Northern Foxing Rather my error, will try to confirm 45gr again. Thanks for your comment.
very nice !!! m8
+reco jeff.Z Thanks
Hi there, I have just bought the R8 Professional and reloaded some rounds today to work up the correct load. I full length resize however some of the rounds didn't go off on the first strike to the primer. I remember seeing a video of yours where you had a similar issue. Can you let me know what you did to cure this issue please. Mine is a .243.
+Giles Killinger Sounds like you didnt set up your FL die correctly. Think about Blaser action as a semiauto. You have to bump the shoulder of the case back enough and trim your cases so the bolt fully closes every time. I only seen this when I tried neck sizing. Full length sizing fixed it never happened to me since and I shoot thousands of rounds.
I had good luck with imr 4350. with 165sst at mid range powder
Thanks for the info
Was würdest du zu einem Semi-Weight-Lauf sagen?
Very nice grouping at 5.07 for a "finicky" round like 308.Well done
+waikarimoana Thanks. Do you find .308 finicky? I always thought it is one of the easiest to reload...
Yes we do,they say it is because the short ""Neck"" of a 308 cartridge.For example a 270 Win is much more "forgiving"if you don't give it a right amount of powder,or the right projectiles.
In short the 270 works reasonably well with most combination of powder,projectiles,primers and so on.
I am not sure if you do "Neck turning" of your corteges,but it helps for a good accuracy.
waikarimoana I never reloaded .270 thanks for the info and no, dont do neck turning maybe something to try in the future
+waikarimoana The .308 is regarded as one of the most accurate centrefire rounds and I've always found it easy to load for and get good groups with it in a variety of rifles.
With all due respect,
You maybe right,but that is for target shooting and in the control environment,using a rifle made for target shooting with heavy,fluted barrel,and lots of bells and whistle,attached to it,which will be near impossible to carry it around in the hunting situation.
Have you had a shot with 270 Win or 338 Lapu, Rifles,regardless of the bran, and do the reloading of these calibers, where a one or two grain of powder doesn't make a lot of difference in the accuracy and performance of that rifle.
In the same situation a .308 would give you a head ache,because you gave it a gain of powder more or less or you used a different brand of Primer.
And so as we say in Down Under,,different folks different strokes.
With best regards Tony.
We will be trying the 165 sst this year on mule deer. Still thinking about the150.....
I dropped a muley at 640 yards using the 165 SST out of a .300 Win Mag. The thing didn't move 5 feet. Won't use it on Elk, but anything mule deer size or smaller makes it a great choice.
какой рецепт сборки был самой кучной из серий?? хорошее видео спасибо
Hey, my dad just bought a new Blaser R8 Professional Succes Leather. And he said that i could use his "old" Blaser R8 Professional in 30.06. But do you think it is too hard to start with a 30.06?
+Mikkel Lauesen Nothing wrong with .30-06 I cant see why not
RoeStalker Okay, thanks for your help!
Would like to hear your opinion about these bullets, regarding meat loss and knock-down power.
I am happy to do it for you www.patreon.com/roestalker
Jaki skok gwintu jest w tym karabinie i z jakiego naboju było najlepsze skupienie....a może mierzył kolega po syrzelbie .prędkości tych najlepszych pocisków D.B.
Standard 1:11". Prędkości nie mierzyłem
Good going Greg, how long was it over as the barrel must have warmed up!!Tim
+The Essex Hunter It was quite cold 7-8C and after a group of 4 the barrel was just slightly warm.
Hey M8
How do the conquest scopes perform in low light conditions ??
+fiskeman92 Not bad, shot a low deer in last/first light using it, but now when shooting more boar at night would prefer 56mm objective, but never tried that Conquest 3-12x56 model.
how big where the increments between your loads?
- and by the way, great inspiring video, thanks!
+Stephan Kalina I worked up with 0.5gr increments. BTW majority of my videos are subtitled and if you switch on closed captions on RUclips you can see my comments
How effective do you believe the 22/250 is on deer sized game????
I shot some roe deer with it without any problems, but probably would rather use something bigger on large deer
very good shots! How much is the muzzle velocity?
+Max Poz Dont have a chrono, but guess it should be around 2750fps. Thanks for watching
Kolego film jak zwykle super. Tylko ciekawi mnie w jakim kraju strzelałeś, bo ja to się tam nie znam, ale z tego co pamiętam to w Polsce na strzelnicy nie wolno mieć załadowanego magazynka. Tylko ładuje się broń pojedynczo, ewentualnie podpina się magazynek wprowadza się nabój do lufy i przed strzałem magazynek wypina się.
Darz Bór
I paski trzeba odpinać ☺
+RoeStalker Mam nadzieję, że zostałem dobrze zrozumiany. Bo nie chodziło mi oto by kogokolwiek "hejtować"
Wiem i dzięki za komentarz, jestem świadomy, że strzelnice PZŁ mają taki regulamin. Darz Bór
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤝
Hey, I´d like to start reloding by myself... Actually, is it difficult? Can you mess up a lot? What stuff is really essential? Probably so many things to consider...
It's quite easy and if you understand the basics and follow instructions it's absolutely safe. Just start with buying a reloading book such as Lee's manual or find someone who can show you the process.
+RoeStalker thanks! I'll go with your tutorials😉
I would still recommend a good reloading manual
Cześć, co możesz powiedzieć o używaniu tego pocisku(sst hornady) na polowaniu?
Jest ok, tani i dosyć dobry. Używałem przez 1-2 sezony, kiedyś 150gr, potem 165gr. Jak ktoś strzela i większość oddaje na skup, to dobry wybór, jak ktoś tak jak ja większość sam zjada, to za bardzo niszczy tusze szczególnie sarny, dlatego już nie używam.
@@RoestalkerCoUk jaka kula jest dobra na sarnę i dzika. Jaky Pan używa? Dziękuję bardzo.
Nie używam fabrycznej amunicji więc nie doradzę, używam własnej elaboracji w oprciu o pociski Hornady BTSP 165gr i RN 180gr.
nice test - good shots. Which handloader are you useing?? Have you tried several handloaders??
+PE J Not sure I understand what you are asking. I use Lee press and various dies, the .308 in this case were RCBS make
ahh - press was the right namn for it. Lee - is it the best one you think??
+PE J No, Lee is one of the cheapest, but I dont see much point investing in something that basically is a simple lever... Lee works for me.
good point.
Are you able to neck size only or do you have to full length resize for the blaser r8
+Apex Hunting I am full sizing every time. In my experience you have to bump the shoulder back just a bit to be safe. If you just resize enough for the case to fit the chamber the brass is not worked hard and last long. I can't see the benefit of neck sizing to be honest.
RoeStalker thanks for the info as i am considering getting an r8.
+Apex Hunting It is a good rifle try it if you have an opportunity. Some don't like straight pull action or safety, but I got used to it instantly and now don't use any other rifle. I have been using 1 rifle for everything for the last 3 years and love it.
you are the exact image of my little brother
+timothy mcswain Is it good or bad? :)
Good
Hi. Thinking to get some sst for hunting Fallow and Red's. Would U recommend them? What about meat damage?
Stopped using them for exactly that reason excessive meat damage.
@@RoestalkerCoUk
Thank u. I thought that. Sako super hammerhead would be a good choice? I hunt in big open fields and sometimes pulling trigger at 300meters. Would sako do the job? Or could u recommend something?
No Idea. I never used Sako in .308. I reload using Hornady RN 180gr RN bullet, but probably not the best choice for longer ranges. I hardly ever shoot past 100m.
What's the name of the soundtrack? Good shooting, by the way
My own creation, no name :-) Thanks for watching
keep your eyes open when u take a shot
He flinched every shot, ruins the cheek weld.....good spot!
congrats! Very nice video! is It possibile To know The distance of the test?
+Ivan Rossi 100m
RoeStalker You tried 200m as Well?
+Ivan Rossi Not on the range
What barrel length is the blaser?
Standard 580mm. I think you can order shorter 520mm if needed.
@@RoestalkerCoUk Thank you for your reply I will get my Blazer R8 Ultimate in one month and I am planning to Reload hornady SST 165! Like you
What OAL? Were you crimping at cannelure?
Standard 2.800". If you switch on closed captions you can see my comments. Most of my videos are subtitled
No crimp
Ever try varget powder ?
+Jay Cupples No, would like to, but chance of getting any Hodgdon powders here is very slim.
Is 45 gr not allot of pressure?
Been a while looked through my notes, but I dont think I went above 45.5gr and eventually settled on 45.0gr. No pressure signs, but in Blaser they are not that obvious. Anyway I shot couple of hundreds since then no issues.
@@RoestalkerCoUk hi, i made a ladder up to 45 grain myself and had the same where I had no signs of pressure. I used the gorden reloading tool and it looks like for me it was fine with my rifle. High but ok. I use norma brass, blaser r8 with 47cm barrel, N140 and the sst 165 grain
Got around 778 mps with that over the magneto speed
detras del arma esta el problema...
45 i deko niżej bym posprawdzał.
+warchlaq przebiegły Myślę, że już sobie daruję i załaduję resztę z 45gr, ale wydaje się, że pomiędzy 44.5 i 45 może jeszcze ciut mogłoby być lepiej
Jak myślisz, czy N133 też się sprawdzi w 308 przy lekkich pociskach?
+warchlaq przebiegły www.vihtavuori.com/en/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/-308-winchester.html wygląda na to, że tak
if the guy would not b scared to talk, wouldn't have been so boring to watch!
+crash my party aj There's not much to talk about, the video is subtitled if you want to know my comments. This is something you can switch on and off. You can't switch off talking. Just the style I prefer. Thanks for your comment.
