Thank you Nosler for adding a bonded .224 bullet to the line.
Several of us have be adding it to the wish list each year, and It's nice to know you really are listening. I see an ammo can full of these in my future.
Thanks.
OT, it could have something to do with UN gungrabber treaty that's about to be signed by obummer. This could complicate import/export to such an extent that firms may need both a US and a European operation.
If you can't get the AB's to shoot, try the 180gr BT's.
You many also try a differnet style of powder....
No luck with a stick powder, try a ball powder ect...
Nate, although blc(2) is typically a good powder in the calibers you mentioned, not every rifle will like it with every bullet. In my .308 bench rifleit shoots bugholes with the 150 NBT, but will not group at all with the NCC's. Get a pound, try it, if it does what you need, then get the 8...
Waldo, W760 and H414 are the same exact powder.
H4350 is a single base stick powder, where W760 is a double base ball powder. Although they may fit in the same burn rate catagory, they are in no way the same powder, and it is in no way safe to substitue W760 data for H4350 data.
The chart also...
It's possible FN might make something in Portugal, but it won't be the Model 70.
Have they brought back the Model 94 yet?
Are they making all the Winchester shotguns yet?
How about .22's? They used to make some great .22's.
There are several interesting possiblilites.
Remmy, head out to the range, and tack up a target with 1" or 1/2" squares.
Dial the scope up to max power, set the rifle in the rest, line up the dots with the squares, and count.
This will tell you exactly how many inches are between dots at 100 yards. Once you have this information, you...
Hodgeman, any of the cartridges based on the standard belted magnum would do fine:
i.e.:
.264 Win mag
7mm Win Mag
30-338
or even a .338 Win mag.
My .338's set up for the type of shot you describe.
I reserve the long range stuff for the 7mm STW, and .308.
I would let the terrain decide.
For thick woods with few clearings, I'd take the 30-30.
In broken country with more chances for a longer range shot, I'd take the 7mm-08.
