yes they are jacketed projectiles, TBF 150gr 308, I forgot to test the TB/cast lead ammo that evening

Thought so. I'm almost certain you already know this SHV, but for all of our sake I'll re-iterate: when you shoot lead through your BLR/any 308w bolt gun, you know you can't push lead nearly as fast as jacketed right?; gotta stick to reduced single-action velocities (exactly like what you're doing in your win 94 30/30).
BTW I've been working on some of my own TB under lead loads for my tikka CTR 308w, I'll post my results after i get out to st marys.

Good stuff... load a few more up to confirm.
What distance are you shooting the groups? Hope you've found somewhere to shoot 100yd by now.

Nice one shv. Good looking stick and the blr are a cracker. The 1.5-5 x20 sounds about perfect. If I wasn’t in love with my 7600 one of these would be in the safe!
Cheers
