I really don't like spam , when I'm trying to relax .

I'm not sure if it's any help , but here's what I have . only 2 of my books showed H4350 powder . one book has a flat base bullet , the other book a boat tail bullet .

I would be concerned over 100 FPS , at the distances you would be hunting with an open sighted 30/30 . with the ammo grouping like this , I'd grab it and go hunting .

I wonder if a different alloy in the copper being used , could weigh 10 grains more ? If the 160's measure out to the same specs as the 150"s I'd say this is what happened . it just seems like too much R&D , plus machine set up time , to make a 160 bullet on a whim . on second thoughts ...

sounds like a winner . If I could only hunt with one bullet , I'd choose the partition

the problem I see with this unicorn stuff is ; these bullets will be exactly perfect in every way . they will shoot small groups , with zero load development effort . they will expand like no other bullet .they will penetrate into next week . they will be the highest velocity bullet ever...

Thank you , Brian . this is a worthy cause .

thanks for sharing . beautiful country .

at one time , my thoughts on V- V powder , was I couldn't buy it locally , and it was expensive powder + the hazmat ,+ shipping costs , made it to where I'm not paying that . then we got into the scarce components saga . now V-V powder is priced inline with other brands , or maybe cheaper...

@ BLKram , I'm going by memory here , so I could be off some . I'll guess within the past 5 years , Douglas had a Death . I "THINK" his name was "Stan" . I'm not sure if he was an employee , or if he was in amongst the ownership . from what I've read ; Stan , seemed to be...

H4895 is an excellent powder for making reduced recoil loads , if you have a new shooter coming up .

they just need banned .

I don't see any accuracy problems with belted cases , they are just as accurate as non belted . I don't do anything different when sizing either case . get them fully expanded and set the shoulder back about .002" . I've never noticed a problem with the case bulge right above the belt ...

did you happen to look through the bullet test section on this forum ? there is just about any bullet one can think of posted there . most guys list the impact velocity and how much penetration . this might help you make up your mind .

I bought my son a new Ruger 22 pistol for Christmas , years ago . it had problems jamming right out of the box . I thought if I could run some ammo through it , it would work it's self out . it never got better . it got tossed to the back of the safe and pretty much forgot about . years...
