I shot 5 bullets from my New 338 into the jugs a few days ago. I was in a hurry and didn't get every detail that I would have liked to, but here is a summary. I shot: 225 Hornady interlock @ 2660 225 Hornady SST @ estimated 2660 225 Hornady interBond @ estimated 2660 180 Nosler Accubond @...

Jim, So far... My experience with the 225AB has been worse than the 200.. Gerry, It is R-P Brass..

This bullet has really tested my patience on accuracy. I've shot them slow, hot, short, long.. I just can't seem to find the sweet spot. Its a shame too, them look real nice coming out of the jugs. This one exited jug# 5 and bounced off of 6 and was found on my sheet of plywood. It weighed 147.5...

Tried twice to catch a 140BT in the jugs, but it was just too dang elusive.. Third try was an accubond in 140 Grain.. It pretty much turned inside out, but still held together. I was in the 5th jug (I think).. It wrecked the bench I had them on..the plywood bench top actually tipped over and...

Scotty, I am impressed by the extremely wide frontal area.. and also by the retained weight. I'm surprised at the penetration you got pushing that inch wide front end, and with the expansion that it exhibits, I'm amazed that it didn't lose any more weight than it did. somebody (YOU) needs...

Gerry, That Woodleigh looks like some serious bad medicine for some big critter.

Jim, that's what Scotty said too. He wasn't getting pass thru's on whitetails with this bullet. He recovered the deer, but had to leave one over night to find it. Tom, I'm sure the heavier hotcore would do the trick. I currently have 100- 200 grain AB's, 50- 225 AB's, 100- 200 interlocks and a...

My Whelen is primarily a whitetail cannon. I know Scotty has had less than favorable results from this bullet as well as other shooters. I shot this bullet mostly to compare it to the 200 interlock I have been using for deer. I was hoping the results would show it to be a lesser bullet. If...

I found a few left over 130 grain original X bullets in my stash.. Shot this one from my Girlfriends 270WSM. It went 6 jugs and retained 100% of its weight.. Is it just me, or do the older X bullets have a longer shank? Dan

I was digging thru the bullet stash looking to test something different than the boringly perfect accubond or partition.. And I came up with these.. a 115 grain Remington corelokt ultrabonded and a 130 grain original Barnes X bullet. I bought the 115's a few years back when I was loading for a...

I've heard less than favorable reports on the 200 grain rem corelokt 35 Whelen round. I bought a box a year or so back and decided to bust some jugs with one. The bullet literally destroyed the first two jugs, split the third and then jumped out. I found it while cleaning up after several other...

I have never been a fan of sierra's.. But your post makes me think I might need to rethink that. Very accurate and that bullet looks great.

They have 10 bags right now.. @ 0900 EST

I use google photos, it used to be called Picasa.. I can move files within folders and they stay linked!

I've used this method to form Ackley cases for my 2506. I can verify that it does work. I was in the 9-11 grain range with powder, red dot If I recall correctly, but I was using a much larger case.. and I used a wadded up piece of toilet paper to keep the media in instead of fooling with wax.

I was a Barnes only shooter for several years. I hunted a lease in north Florida and we were mostly overrun with hogs. My experience with Barnes bullets is they are easy to make shoot well and that they kill hogs like a bolt of lightning. I finally migrated away after shooting 6 deer with them...

I bought an 8#er back when I could get nothing else. My experience is that it works pretty well with heavier bullets or with a very mild load. I'm using it in a 270WM (mild load), 7Mag with 168's and a 2506AI running 110's. Due to the slow burn rate and the bulkiness of the powder it fills a...

Scotty, I have about a full box of the interlocks yet (100). I also have nearly 2 full boxes of 200g AB's and an unopened box of 225g AB's. I'm sure the 225PT would be a great bullet but I have a lot of bullets to shoot before I swap to something new. Unless I find a smoking deal on a bunch...

I was thinking they probably penetrate well enough for deer sized game but nothing bigger.. Thoughts?? I got pass thru's one the two I have used on deer, but without a lot of bone contact. I have a half box of factory rem PSPCL's that I could have pushed into some jugs as a comparison.. Need to...

+1 Scotty, I am addicted. I've killed a lot of jugs this week.
