300-68-FN-BI3 with a little work!

Got the FX Crown out with the hollow point version of the 300-68-FN-BI3
I think its going to be my go to bullet for this rifle.

Again had problems with the bullet being to long for the magazine.

Made up a run of Single Shot Trays for the 30Cal

Didn’t really shoot for groups – but shot about 6″ lower than JSB’s
And group size was about the same at 50 yards.
Shot a 15 round string – 6 rounds in about 3/4″ or less with three flyers that opened it up to about 2 1/2″

Did shoot it in to some ballistics jell and it penetrated 8″ and was retrieved.

Not explosive expansion – .359 – good weight retention though. Cast with pure lead. 

Working on getting more velocity out of the Crown – 1000fps and I think this bullet will be
a great performer.
