    44 Mag Bullet Test

    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...

    6.5 Creed / 140 Ballistic Tips

    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.

    6.5 Creed / 140 Ballistic Tips

    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.

    New Swift Z Bullet

    That is A- Frame performance on steroids. Great expansion and retention.

    308 Win 180 grain Norma Bondstrike

    165 Accubonds is best in the 308 and 30-06 in my opinion, its lighter and drives faster for better expansion. I use the 180 Accubonds in my 300 Win Mag. I have a box of 165 AB for my 308 to test soon.

    308 Win 180 grain Norma Bondstrike

    Both 180 Accubonds recovered from nilgai. Used in 300 Win Mag. I like to try the 180 BondStrike sometime, and Partition is a great bullet as well. Partition does drive them deep after shedding the front half, used a 140 Partition on a bull nilgai head on straight in the chest from a 7 mm Mag...
