Not much expansion by the looks of it, perhaps it needed more velocity to fully open. I dug in my old bullet collections, found three .41 Magnum bullets. Fired from a 6 inch barrel, into water jugs, left is a full metal jacket, possibly the older Hornady XTP FMJ, can't remember, 2nd bullet is...
This was a picture of my older post testing a 120 Ballistic Tip with H4350, never forgot how stupid accurate Ballistic Tip bullets are. I still have 5 boxes left of this bullet. Moving the mail at a hair over 3,000 fps.
Been shooting 140 Berger Hybrids in the 6.5 Creed for a few years already, just tired of the same bullet shooting bugholes and wanted to shoot hunting bullets for a change. I still have 8 lbs of that IMR 4451 that I bought several years ago as an alternative to H4350 which I could not find. I...
I should see a difference moving from the Rock BR Caldwell to the NEO-X soon. Last month off the Caldwell I scored a 200-7X, 198-12X and a 199-15X @ 600 yards. 90% or more shooters used a joystick rest, which puts me in a disadvantage, because on every shot I had to reposition the rifle on that...
I bought one last year as a back up for my Caldwell when my old 25 plus year old front Protektor wears out from long time use.
Thanks for the NEO-X, haven't got to try it out yet. I'll snap a pic of it with my new 6 BRA when it comes out.
165 Accubonds is best in the 308 and 30-06 in my opinion, its lighter and drives faster for better expansion. I use the 180 Accubonds in my 300 Win Mag. I have a box of 165 AB for my 308 to test soon.
Both 180 Accubonds recovered from nilgai. Used in 300 Win Mag.
I like to try the 180 BondStrike sometime, and Partition is a great bullet as well. Partition does drive them deep after shedding the front half, used a 140 Partition on a bull nilgai head on straight in the chest from a 7 mm Mag...
Congratulations!! We have been blessed with our first grandson two months ago. Life is short, and we need to spend as much time with them as we can, they sure grow fast.
Sweet rig and excellent shooting for sure. By looking at the target, 33.6 grains seems to be the sweet spot to start, a little seating depth adjustment and you ready to swat mosquitoes.
