Prohunt Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Hey everyone! Do any of you shoot the .308 Warbird??I am trying to figure out what grain of bullets to shoot through my Sako Warbird.I was considering the 130 gr Barnes X that is moly coated and undersized and can be pushed over 4000 fps with over a 90 percent weight retention. Everything I have read says this is the fastest but not the most accurate. The 168 gr were supposed to be the most accurate but now Lazz came out with a 150 gr Laserhead or some name like that. I just wanted to know if any of you have had any experience with these different bullets. I will probably use this gun for Coues so I don't really need a heavy bullet. Any help would be appreciated.

Wyorawhide Report post Posted August 7, 2003 Hey Travis, I don't know about the warbird, but I do know a little on the ballistics for a 30-378 Weatherby Mag. The rifle has the exact sme trajectory with a 165 Speer ballistic tip as it does with a 180 grain Barnes X. In my book that only means one thing, I am sending the round down range that packs a bigger punch. Just my two cents. By the way, I would consider 165 grain bullets minimum for the Warbird. Just an opinion though. Faster and lighter is not always better. Dean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prohunt Report post Posted August 7, 2003 Hi Dean, Thanks for the info. The 30-378 and the Warbird are very similer.I am considering 165 grain because I like it so much in my 7mag. Thanks, Travis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyorawhide Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Travis, The comparable ballistics from your 7mm should be done with a 150 grain bullet. I would consider a 180 grain bullet if I was you. The warbird is nowhere in the same category as the 7 mag. (180 gr Barnes x) Dean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prohunt Report post Posted August 29, 2003 Dean, I agreee with you the 7 mag is not a good caliber to campare with the Lazz. Warbird, it is just the closest gun I own. I am really liking the new Lazz. 150 grain Lazerhead, they have some good info on it in the Lazzeroni Website. I may just have to give them a call. They were very helpful when it came to scope advice before. Thanks, Travis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
