Flatline WTC 180 gr. & CFE223 Load Work Up & LR Test in 308 Win

Load Development, and Long Range Test in a custom 308 Win.
Using Flatline 180 Grain Solids.
This Bullet Effectively turned a 308 into a 30-06 Equal with less recoil
00:00 Measuring bullet to bullet consistency
09:35 Zeroing scope and Load Test
14:33 Initial Test at 875 yds - Could not get a visual, hits were impacting approx 1 Mil Right
18:17 Retest at 730 yds - for an easier visual
23:00 Final Scope and Load dial in at 730 yds
25:53 Final Retest at 875 yds after all parameters dialed in.
According to my research, The engraving band length and reduced friction and pressure that results from the bullets design allows the use of a faster powder than a conventional bullet of the same weight. I found the results in testing here showed this to be correct.
Additionally I found every bullet is nearly identical lot to lot, eliminating any need for length or weight sorting. (time savings is a cost benefit that offsets the cost of the bullets)

I’ve been looking at these. How’s the reloading on these things?

Hello, thanks for the question
They reloaded great. My one concern initially was that the tip may get damaged during seating without using a VLD stem since they are so sharp and pointy.
However I used a Standard RCBS Seater die and the tip did not contact within the stem at all....the contact point is much more down the Ogive from the tip.
(Bonus points to RCBS for planning ahead and knowing how to make a good die.)
Neck tension seating into Lapua Brass felt very nice and consistent as well.
