    Elk bullet in 6.5x55 Swede

    Don't forget the 127 Barnes lrx that thing is a killer in my 6.5 RPM and 6.5 * 300 Weatherby. Brian Lytz retested it and he came up with a .500 BC..... that is kind of comical because it's one of the few bullets where the manufacturer has it lower than it actually is as far as BC is concerned

    Elk bullet in 6.5x55 Swede

    Just about any 140 gr bullet will do. In the well behaved, pedestrian 6.5 swede this will work just fine.

    New copper tariff???

    I agree that Hammers are indeed very good in what they were designed to do. Much better than barnes in the smaller calibers. I just can't see eventually paying $130.00 for 50 bullets that are listed for 100.00. And the 130 is before tax insurance and shipping

    New copper tariff???

    I have read before like I said that there's something special about their copper and they had to use almost tons of it until they actually got to the point where it will expand all the way down to like 13 1400 ft per second and be accurate as it is

    New copper tariff???

    I wonder if the e-tip will be affected. So far Barnes has not listed anything in this regard. That said I do know that hammer uses a specific type of copper that's got to be imported and for a lack of better terms as I understand it it's super purified to get consistent results I don't know...

    New copper tariff???

    So I put a bunch of bullets in my cart at Hammer bullets website. I am ready to check out after shipping and handling and all that good stuff and I look at my price and I'm a little bit shocked. I guess now they have to include this raw material copper tariff surcharge 15% To say that I'm...

    45-70 and 350gr Hot Cor?

    That's a very good load also be advised that the sper 350 was originally made for the big magnums so don't expect too much expansion once the velocity decreases

    357 Magnum ES/SD

    I am having a hell of a time getting my 357's getting a good SD. Specifically with the 125 grain bullets (XTP's). I have tries VH N110, H110/W296, Lilgun etc. Variation of over 100 fps from bullet to bullet sometimes. It is not the cylinders either. I have tried different primers but no joy...
