The 180 Sierras that I have I have about 1250 of the round nose pro hunters. I think I have a few boxes of the 150s as well. They came from an estate sale. I think I have some 150 pointed and 165 pointed to with the boat tails. Sierra basically told me to stay away from the boat tail versions...

I thought Nosler only went through two different design changes with the ballistic tip? I know they’ve changed the pictures on the boxes, but the actual design just went from the original thin jacket to the current one, which is thicker going towards the base with a nice thick base now. If...

To me it just all depends on the particular bullet brand and the bullet construction. I know when I was a kid my dad used to buy boxes of Remington core locks for my 30-06 and it was whatever was on the shelf at the time. Whether it be 150, 165, or 180 grain ammo they all downed deer in their...

My average rifle shot in the Deer woods is normally within archery range so I like the 180s to make sure they hold together and get an exit every time. I guess if I lived out west and I could shoot a country mile or two I’d want something flatter. A 150 yards is a super long shot for me...

The current style .308 180 grain ballictic tip will put deer down so fast out of my 30-06 i think i missed them a few times

Imo you don’t need a partition for any deer on the planet! I tried the same rotten Sierras out of my 30-06 in 150 grain. They go in and they don’t come out and deer run without blood trails for a good 60 plus yards. A 180 grain version in anything is going to do you good for deer. I’ve used 180...

Yeah, I don’t think it would’ve been a problem either but I just figured be better to start with 30 at six brass since I’m only “upsizing” one time to try and keep my case necks as thick as possible.

Yeah, I just checked their website again and they don’t have any but they’re basically an even trade if they were in stock for the credit they’re gonna give me. Darn it!

Man, that’s an awesome mushroom. Reminds me of what the old sciroccos used to do before they screwed them up and made them thicker. Too bad Norma doesn’t have anything in stock on their website to replace my undersize 350 eights. I’d be all over them. They only list two bond strikes for loose...

Good to hear I trust Nosler more than I trust any other brand. The hornady second I had were .001” undersized but so were the same bullets in a brand new box I had from them

Yeah, I’ve read “opinions” too. I was just hoping that someone has used them at faster velocities on Whitetail deer and can share their experience, but I appreciate the link above. I read it a long time ago too. I’ve also read opinions that they stick together enough even at fast 35 Whelen...

Has anybody ever measured the diameter of the seconds? I had some that were undersize not too long ago, but they were a different manufacturer’s seconds. I do have some Nosler seconds but haven’t loaded any.

Love the Scirrocco’s

Just had a chance to open both replacement boxes of Hornady projectiles. I measured 2 frome each box of 250's and 200's. Happy to report all four measured .358". I won't end up doing any laddrr tests with them any time soon. Ill just put them back into my inventory for time being. I also...

Yeah I decided to pass on the 270 brass that was going to be given to me figured it's going to be too big of a stretch in the necks are going to be too thin by the time I get done even if they don't crack. I'm pretty sure I have some 30 out 6 military casings laying around in my stash that don't...

I don't even know what would possess somebody to shoot a moose with a 22 caliber rifle other than a poacher practicing their craft.

I watched Jim’s video. I’m sure he got paid quite well for that advertisement. I’ll stick with my 300 RUM. I just watched some outdoor life writer shoot a moose with a 22 ARC. Three shots of it stood there for about a half a minute and then fell over. So apparently you can shoot them with 22...

I’d rather start with 06’ brass. Maybe if somebody here has a 270 win and need some brass and has 35 Whelen brass we can do some horse trading?

Looks like the book data above doesn’t push them very hard anyways in anything with 200 grains versus the Hornady super performance ammo at 2950 fps. At that velocity, I’m really not gaining anything anyways versus the 2500 ft./s 180 grain hot core I’m currently shooting. IMO I am better off to...

I just acquired about 116 pieces of ones fired PMC brass in 270 Winchester. I don’t own a 270. I do own a couple of 30-06 and a 35 Whelen. My plan was to neck them up to 35 Whelen. I think I did this years ago with about eight or nine pieces of 270 brass and some 280 brass I found at the range...
