Very surprising results. I have been using that bullet in my 35 Remington for many years, and have never had a deer run more than 15 yds after getting shot with it. Most times they have dropped at the shot. My load in my 336 runs around the same velocity as you’re getting in the Buckhammer...
I am looking to sell the following bullets
150 - 225 grn Accubonds (3 boxes of 50)
One full box of 50 and a partial box of 38 200 grn Accubonds
1 box of 50 225 grn Ballistic Tips
I would like to sell them as a lot. $250 shipped. I will only take a USPS money order.
Nice shooting. I love me some 250 Speers in a Whelen. I find they shoot more consistent than most of the premium bullets and perform every bit as well on game.
I have begun testing 250 gr Speers with CFE223 in my Whelen. Velocity has been good at 2575 through a 22” barrel. Still need to test a couple of increments up since I am still below book max. Grouping at 1 1/4” now but I haven’t got to seating depth tweaks yet. This powder seems to be readily...
I wish I would have bought one of the closeout Model 70’s in .325 WSM that CDNN was selling a few years ago. That cartridge just seemed to make sense, as far as WSM’s go.
You will appreciate that rifle being nose heavy, especially if you step up to 250 gr at some point. It will help with muzzle rise. IMR 4166 is another powder to add to the list. It behaves well in the Whelen.
I’m pretty sure I posted this for you in another thread, but I think it has what you are looking for.
