I'll throw another punch for the Speer TNT's, they can be pretty violent on impact. I've seen crows pretty much vaporize when hit with this bullet. It makes quite a mess of coyotes too.

I can't comment on the TTSX but I have used the 130gr TSX in my 30.06 with excellent results. I worked up a good load and harvested several deer with it back in 07. I never recovered a bullet as all bullets went in and out with a good (but not huge) wound channel and exit hole. I think it...

I would be interested in feedback on this scope as well.

Good post!, I've only used two calibers over the years for deer hunting and they are the 30.06 and the 25.06. I harvested many whitetails with the 30.06 but it doesn't see much action anymore because I just love shooting the 25.06 more. I did harvest a couple with the .308 a couple years back...

They have always been a top notch company to me with great customer service should you ever need it. I buy the majority of my reloading supplies from them with the exception of powder and primers which I buy locally because of the hazmat. I've had a couple issues with them over the years and...

That's a piece of history ....... very nice rifle indeed!

I can't compare the two because I've never tried the gamekings but I've killed countless deer with the pro hunter in various calibers. For some reason my rifles have always preferred the flat base spritzers just a little better than the boat tails. My brother will say the same thing about...

About the same for me. I've been using the 5-0-5 for 25yrs and it has served me well. I do take it apart and clean it from time to time. If it stopped working today I'd probably buy another one just like it.

I agree! The Speer has been a good bullet for me as well and I wouldn't hesitate to use it again but i'm really liking the 115gr BT's that I'm currently working with. Just as accurate and a dang good looking bullet. I really do love the blue tip compared to the soft point. I've never shot a deer...

I've had very good results with the Speer 120gr Spitzer in 2 different rifles that I've loaded it for. Accuracy has always been good with various powders and on game performance has been excellent for me with no penetration problems, bullet failures or bullet recovery. I've killed deer from...

I have no feedback on the SBT but I've had excellent results over the years with the Speer 120gr Flat Base Spitzer Hot-Cor. Accuracy has always been good in my rifles with several different powders. As for toughness and penetration I have never recovered one from a deer that I've shot with it. I...

JD338, i'll give that a try first chance I get. Thank You!

I didn't want to hijack Bruce Mc's thread so I figured I would just start another one. I finally managed to get some time and good weather the last few days and got to do some work with the 115gr BT. The two powders im working with are Retumbo and my usual go to powder for the 25.06 RL22. I...

Congrats!, that's a nice buck. Love the dark colored antlers.

I really liked the Bronze tip bullet and harvested quite a few deer with it in 30.06. It was very accurate in my rifle and the majority of the deer that I shot with it fell in the scope when I pulled the trigger. I don't imagine that i'll try the new bullets because my hunting is mostly done...

This is without a doubt the best and most informative forum that I visit with great people who are more than willing to answer questions and help others. Thanks to all who have helped me out since I've been posting here. Merry Christmas to all and a very Blessed Happy New Year! Mike

My daughter has been shooting a 260 for several years now and has taken some really nice deer with it. She started out with a model 7 and is now shooting a Rem 700 that I bought her about six months ago. All the deer she's taken has been with the Sierra 120gr PH but I'm hoping to work with the...

I've tried both and I think the BT is a better suited bullet for the deer here in my part of NC. I've harvested countless whitetails here with the 150gr BT and the 30.06. I used the 110gr Accubond in my 25.06 for one season when they first came out and took 2 deer that year and they too did what...

That's some great shooting Guy and some fine looking deer. I've never tried the Berger bullets in my 25.06 but I have read some pretty impressive reviews on them. It appears that the people who are using them are having positive results. I currently have a terrible itch that I have to scratch...

I really enjoy reloading but i'll have to admit that it can become a chore if I try to do to much in one session. I usually try to separate everything and do different steps on different days. The prep is the work part. When I set down to load I want to load and shoot ..... that's the fun part!
