Thank you guys. I’ve been really bummed to not find many Nosler partitions but the more I use the Sierra, the more ok with not having noslers im becoming.
That’s a great setup! I have the twin to my 358 in 338 fed also. Both ruger hawkeyes ss. Hands down my two favorite rifles. I have some 180 accubonds maybe I will try them on a buck one of these days. How fast are you pushing that 180 out of the federal?
Yeah I have a bad feeling that’s what’ll happen when I buy a whelen. So I’ll probably just stick to my 358 for a few more seasons at least. It’s an incredible little cartridge. That’s a bummer you can’t use the 225 tsx but I’m sure the 200 wouldn’t be much less effective if any at all. I have a...
Just wanted to post some results from this blacktail season using this bullet. My hand loaded 225 SGK out of my ruger Hawkeye in .358 Winchester is pushing about 2600fps at the muzzle. I shot my buck strongly quartering to me at about 100 yards. I hit him in the front shoulder and the bullet...

Darn I thought I was clever for thinking of that one! Yes it’s a fine cartridge. I took a big Roosevelt with mine a few years ago and was very impressed with the results. My handload was a 140 grain Speer impact over a stout load of H4350 and they clock about 2750fps from my tikka. I took the...
Nice. I think I have about 400 of them. I suppose I’d better start working on them soon lol. Yes from my understanding all of the Speer hotcor line, seem to be fairly tough bullets! Wish I could get my hands on some of the 220 hotcors for elk. I’ve seen them on gun broker here and there but I...
Rest in peace sir! Thank you for your dedication to the company and your family. We will continue to support your family business for generations to come!
Wow! Thanks for sharing chuck I really appreciate it! I have a nice stock pile of 180 speers and tac. I will definitely start a little lower and work up to your load. Looks like a winner to me!
I hear that! Too many good options to just stick to one. I have some 180 speers also. Been wanting to play with them but don’t know where to start. Would probably be the perfect bullet for my deer hunting. Are you running tac with that bullet too?
