Topic: 168gr load fal

[Nomad]

 Loading for a short barrel 16.5 308 win.
Have several hundred pulled bullets 168gr
to load for a fal. Looking for a handload.

What are you wanting to do with this load?  You're not going to achieve any decent groups out of that 16 inch barrel so personally I wouldn't waste the 168gr bullets on that particular rifle.  I use to have a 16 inch FAL and it was a great shooter but again, not a tack driver due to the short barrel.

Yeah you should gives those up to me since I looking for componets for a 24" SS barrel. Those bullets aren't for your short barrel.

 Great try, yet I hear the fal saying range---range, what is a person to
do...listen to the call of the range or just pass them off........Let me
think on that one.....NNNOOO...sorry.

 Sounds like a great idea...don't ask the wife to cook but do have a extra cot.

Yeah I'm doing that here.

We had about 1" of snow Friday night, melted by Sat afternoon. But those little pigs are still being shy. Only a couple holes and they are only popping up once or twice in the morning and that is it. They don't stay up or look up much.  Need to get a little warmer out.

44+/-1 gr varget usually works well in most semi's. R15 also works pretty good.
