I may be getting a 307 in the near future, and I think and 160grFTX would be awesome in the 307. Has anyone here tried this? What powder did you use and how much? I think a the 307 with the FTX bullet would surpass the 300 savage.

I loaded some last night with 43 grains of 4064 IMR and they are very compressed loads. I set my die to roll a little bit into the canalure. I shot them today in the nasty wind and had 2.75" group at 100 yds with the open sights. The target was held up by a 5" fence post and the three shots completely destroyed the post, cut it right off. I was impressed.

Hornady got them up to 2500fps with Varget and TAC. Slightly slower with other powders. They have load data for 307 and quite a few others as well on their website. www.hornady.com/ballistics/ftx_reloading_data.php

I just think that would be a great deer or black bear load, and i think I'm going to trade for a 307 which would make trade number 7 this year
