Summary

We loaded the Barnes 212 Gr LRX Bore Rider in a .300 WSM case. The result — impressive ballistics and payload on target at extended ranges. But what happens if we do the same thing with a .308 case? Mark Boardman and Ryan Muckenhirn go back to the lab to explore the possibilities and hopefully begin unlocking another level of .308 Winchester potential. As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast
