Nice to see they're shooting well for you. They did great in my 6.5 PRC in my Tikka, quite accurate. Shot a doe with one & she dropped on the spot. Nice exit but not a far shot. Can't remember MV but I think only mid to low 2800's.
I've used it in 7 Rem Mag, 7mm PRC and 6.5 PRC. So far it has been accurate in the PRC's but velocity has been off from published loads by 100+ fps. I still want to try it further with higher charge weights but overall it hasn't been bad at all. The 7 RM loads have given good velocity in one...
That P320 is definitely shooting well! I've had good luck shooting the HAP bullets in other calibers, always seem accurate but they're target bullets and not meant to expand. They almost look like an XTP without the skives etc.
@TexasLife man you got some red dots! I only have experience with...
I'm sure some lighter weights would be wicked fast and a lot of fun on smaller game. Not sure how I feel about using them on deer unless it was a stout bullet.
@Slimfinn those are some hot factory loads. Which brand?
@TexasLife I was on the lookout for AA#9 but never ran across any.
Anyone...
The higher load I had did 1299 fps average with the 180gr from the 5" barrel but was not a published load. What powder were you using?
The load I showed the chronograph picture of is 9.0 grains of Longshot at 1268 fps average. That's just below Nosler book max but almost a grain higher than...
@salmonchaser I love Sigs and own several of the classic series in 9mm, 40, 10mm, 357 Sig & 45. One of my off duty carry guns is a P365 XL which has been fantastic. Too bad I can't carry one of them on duty.
@TexasLife I think you'll love them! I have a P220 DA/SA Legion in 45 and it's a very...
I bought a Sig P220 10mm Hunter a couple years ago with the intention of shooting a deer with it. I've been handgun hunting for a while now but I've never used a semiauto. While it has excellent iron sights, I really wanted to put a red dot on it & EGW makes a nice adapter that takes the place...
That's super frustrating and luckily, I've only had that happen with one rifle. Incidentally, it was a Weatherby Vanguard but in 270 Win. It was a buddy's rifle he bought new and he bought cheap Federal Powershok 130gr ammo to break it in and get brass. It was consistently sub-moa...until we...
Man that's a good looking combo and have to love the quarter bores. Great groups, let us know how she she performs on game. Nosler needs a bullet for fast twist 25's.
You can't go wrong with any of those choices. I really liked the 125gr Partition and 130gr Accubond in my 260 Rem Encore pistol (15" barrel), which was later rechambered to 6.5-270 JDJ. Those two bullets put a hurtin on deer & hogs. I've been using the ABLR's in a 6.5 PRC & 7mm PRC & they have...
I honestly have had pretty good luck with most major brands of brass. Pistol brass doesn't make near as much difference. In rifle, Hornady, Federal & Winchester used to be my go to's for the price. After trying some Nosler and then Lapua, I spend the extra for good rifle brass now for bolt guns...
I won't go through a big list, but all my center fire rifles were first used on whitetails from 257 Roberts through 45-70. The majority with Nosler bullets. A very memorable hunt was when I was 10. Using a beautiful Browning A-Bolt Micro Medallion in 7mm-08, the rifle's first animal and my first...
Great cartridge and tons of suitable powders. You already are using one of the best for the grand old warhorse. My dad loved IMR4350 with 150gr Ballistic Tips. Ive been partial to H4350 and 150gr Accubonds, Partitions or Interbonds and my buddy likes Staball 6.5 with 150gr Interbonds. Between...
I like the 240gr XTP but have only shot animals with it out of a revolver and was happy with it. However, if I had a 44 Mag rifle, the 270gr Speer Deepcurl would be hard to beat as an overall bullet. I loaded some for a buddy with a case full of H110 and they've been great for him on deer and...
