A Partition will do the job for sure. I dropped my first bull nilgai with a 140 Partition out of a 7 Mag at 200 yards head on. The Partition hit square in the chest just below the beard, it kept trucking along lengthwise of that tough critter. It dropped so fast and I'll never forget it because...

I have never used Bergers for hunting game and I'm reluctant to use it except for paper shooting. I stick with what worked for me in the past which are the Nosler Ballistic Tips, Accubonds, Sierra Gamekings, Swift Scirocco and ELD-X and M. Barnes TTSX 180 is my next bullet to try on nilgai soon.

Just landed 1000 bullets of 6mm 103 Daggers from Bart's to try in the 6 BR and the new 6 BRA when it comes in. Just for 600 yard F Class. Had a few emails between myself and Bart, concerning freebores and types of bullets he makes, his recommendation is to try the Daggers. I currently use the...

On my GA Precision 6.5 X 284, I specified with GA that I wanted it in a Defiance long action, in case in the future I may want a straight 284. On the 6.5 x 284, I load my ELD-X 143 at 3.123" OAL . The 284 is a great caliber and there are great brass available like Lapua which I use. My magazine...

I'm using Nosler brass for the 6.5 Creed. I am a Lapua brass fan, all my other rifles uses Lapua. If it works with Nosler brass, then I won't change it.

I liked the Ballistic Tips as long as i stay off the shoulders for deer when I used the big 7's, I liked the BT for the 7STW at distance. AB is a great bullet for the STW, I used that and the 150 Swift Scirocco as well especially for nilgai. After 3 barrels, I converted that rifle into the...

140 and 150 BT rocks too!!! I used them for my 7mm Mag and 7 STW.

Thanks guys, its just been so long since I used them. (y)

It's been so many years since I last used Federal Gold Medal Match primers, I could remember seeing purple dye on the anvil on those primers. I have always used that brand until they were hard to obtain years ago. I just started using the new Federal GM primers again, the boxes are different...

Not much expansion by the looks of it, perhaps it needed more velocity to fully open. I dug in my old bullet collections, found three .41 Magnum bullets. Fired from a 6 inch barrel, into water jugs, left is a full metal jacket, possibly the older Hornady XTP FMJ, can't remember, 2nd bullet is...

Thanks, it's a GA Precision custom built rifle, Defiance action, 26 inch Bartlein 8 twist, Jewell trigger, A5 McMillian stock and ATACR 5-25

This was a picture of my older post testing a 120 Ballistic Tip with H4350, never forgot how stupid accurate Ballistic Tip bullets are. I still have 5 boxes left of this bullet. Moving the mail at a hair over 3,000 fps.

Been shooting 140 Berger Hybrids in the 6.5 Creed for a few years already, just tired of the same bullet shooting bugholes and wanted to shoot hunting bullets for a change. I still have 8 lbs of that IMR 4451 that I bought several years ago as an alternative to H4350 which I could not find. I...

I should see a difference moving from the Rock BR Caldwell to the NEO-X soon. Last month off the Caldwell I scored a 200-7X, 198-12X and a 199-15X @ 600 yards. 90% or more shooters used a joystick rest, which puts me in a disadvantage, because on every shot I had to reposition the rifle on that...

I bought one last year as a back up for my Caldwell when my old 25 plus year old front Protektor wears out from long time use. Thanks for the NEO-X, haven't got to try it out yet. I'll snap a pic of it with my new 6 BRA when it comes out.
