I do not crimp my rifle rounds and have never had a problem.

I find it interesting that people will complain about the cost of a bullet and it is the cheapest part of any hunt. It would be different if it were just for plinking but we are talking about hunting and the bullet is the one thing that most determines the success or failure of the kill.

I bought a 338fed because I live in Calif and must use non-lead bullets. I like it because it is like a 308win/30-06 when I use 165 or 185gr TTSX bullets, except it has more frontal area. I have taken several animals with my rifle and it has worked great and less recoil than my 338win mag...

I used it in both.

I have a 338Fed rifle and like it. I shoot Barnes bullets since I am stuck in Calif and it works just great.

I have loaded the 200gr HP from Nosler and it has worked well on deer and black bear for me

Swift bullets are great. Shoot them in my 257R, 25-06, 257W, 6.5X55,264win mag, 6.5X300W, 338Win mag. To be honest I have only used Barns es bullets in my 7-08 and 338 Fed. Killed a bunch of game in the USA (5-6 states) and in Africa PG on 2 trips. One for 21days and another for 1 month. Never...

they need bullet jump for accuracy. I had trouble with the Sirocco bullets and called swift. They said seat them deeper. Sure enough the shot great with a lot of jump.

a vote for 125gr PAR bullets.

I have been on this site for quite some time. I now have terminal cancer--this is not made up! I had a heart problem but they operated and now I am ok there. I am not a scammer. I have already sold some rifles (old mil), some ammo and dies to people I know. I have a long list of brass, bullets...

the Lyman manual is very good. But do not use it for Barnes or Swift bullets unless they are listed.

The 125gr PAR bullet works well. I use 65gr of IMR4831 for 3422FPS in my rifle.

very nice cat

I have used the 200gr HP from Nosler to take a couple. one shot and down.
