I made a stupid mistake. I bought a couple boxes of Hornady 90gr XTPs that were advertised as 30cal. They are I guess but I was not thinking anything but
.308 when 30cal is mentioned. I wanted to try them out in 30/30. Several guys
told me they would be OK to use in .308" guns. That .001 would have no effect
as far as damaging the gun. I'm a little leary of this because I don't have any
beaters to try them in. I get my jollies freaking out the magnum maniacs with
a 16" barrel Marlin 30/30. I hustled them with Speer 130hps and figured I could
really put it on them with a 90grainer if they will shoot accurately. Has anybody
shot 309 dia out of their 308 bore rifles. I'm not sure what cartridge this bullet
was designed for. The 7.62x39mm maybe? They look like pistol bullets.
