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.
 
Good group and it is a very good bullet too.
I guess he is ready to go :)
 
Looks like you found a WINNER!
 
I'd stop right there. As Emo Phillips used to say, "We have a winner!"

Prudence would call for stopping, but curiosity will win out. I'm going to have to see how 180gr bullets will work in this gun.
