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.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
