Anybody shooting the XP3? If so, what do you think of them?

Shot xp3 out of my 300wsm & liked it. Know it's not same bet just a reference.
I now shoot HSM AMMO out of my 300wsm & .308, really like how they perform.

Just bought a 308 and was looking at different loads. Liked the ballistics on the xp3 150s but I have never had a 308 so was fishing for info. Guess ill just buy a couple different boxes and see what it likes. Always shot power points or fed fushion out of my 270 with good results. Just curious if anybody was having success with xp3 out of a 308.

federal 168 grain sierra matchking BTHP. Won't find a better bullet IMO. shot a boat load of deer with that round this weekend and not one of them left the plot.

Went to sight it in friday. took a box of hornady sst150, Barnes tsx 150, and fed fushion 165. The hornadys wouldn't even chamber, guess the casings were jacked up. Barnes were all over the place. Fushion grouped pretty close to an inch at 100yds. Wife killed her first buck with it sat at 170 yds and center punched him. He ran 25 yds.

Funny, I thought they said that bullet wasn't recommended for hunting. My gun LOVES that bullet, it's not the Federal, but a handloaded 168 gr SMK BTHP.

I've always shot a 150 grain Core-Lokt. The only problems I have ever encountered were due to the Indian, and not the arrow.

That 150 gr Core Lokt is BAD medicine for a deer!!!!
