Black Hills .308 Load Test

November 25, 2025

We put four Black Hills Ammunition .308 loads on the range to find what our rifle likes: a 150-grain copper/solid hunting load, mid-weight target loads, and a 178-grain Hornady ELDX long-range/hunting option. This hands-on test shows group sizes, how different bullet weights and profiles affect point of impact and velocity, and a simple tip for testing ammo.
