    Default .308 Winchester / 165gr North Fork / RL15

    I think I've now got a good elk and/or African load for my son's .308 Win.

    44.5gr of RL15
    165gr North Fork Bonded Cores
    CCI BR-2 Primer

    On a somewhat windy day....

    EDIT: By the way a very nice recoil load too with no pressure signs. I've taken this bullet up to 46 grains of RL15 with again no pressure signs.
