The Speer held up better than I thought it would.

I finally got enough jugs and some time to try and catch the Winchester Powerpoint. I shot it at around 15-20 feet and caught it in the fourth jug. It was all in one piece and the core was firmly attached to the jacket. Recovered weight was 157.9 grains. Two small lead pieces were with it...

I wouldn't blanket ABs based on a sample of one. If you deer hunt long enough, stuff happens. My brother shot a nice buck one year with his 308 Win and a 150 Ballistic Silvertip. That deer ran 100 yards and almost made it onto a neighbors property.....and there were chunks of lung on the...

JD338. They are a great bullet, about the only negative I would say is their accuracy isn't up to par with the Hornady or Sierra. But it's a hunting bullet and it's easily MOD (minute of deer). The sad thing is I don't think I've seen them for sale in at least 5 years, maybe more. I...

It's easy to see why the 35 caliber Core Lokts have such a good reputation. Years ago I bought a bunch of the SP version as well. I found one in the gravel behind the target one time and it was in one piece as well and very similar to the RN here. Very tough bullet. I thought so too. Even...

I was able to run out with some water jugs today and shoot them. I kinda screwed up a little and put the jugs at about 15 feet when I should have put them at 25 yards or so. The impact and hydro power of the first jug exploding not only put on a show, but it broke the board the jugs were on...

I managed to score some 200 grain Winchester Power Points. Since I have several 35 calibers I could use them in, I figured I'd test the round noses I have in water jugs, then maybe some dry magazine or newsprint if I can get enough. Hopefully I can put them in some jugs within the next week...

Thanks guys. I agree that not only do these bullets perform well, they tend to be easy to get to shoot well in any decent rifle and won't break the bank. Especially at todays prices.

Great bullet, one took this buck with 58.0 grns RL22

One of these day's I'll get one...

Those look great. I have a bunch of the 62 grn TBBC's in Federal ammo I plan on using in a CZ American for my daughter this year.

gerry, I've heard a lot of good about the Woodleighs and have always wanted to try them. The North Forks too but I have so many of the Hornady and Barnes bullets, I've not wanted to drop that much money just to try them and see how they shoot....maybe before I got married :grin:

It shoots it well, I just need a deer to volunteer to take one for the team.

Blkram, loads with both were 53.5 grns of IMR 4064 and chrony'd around 2450 fps. Jugs were IIRC 25 yards or so. I have quite a few of the 250 Barnes Originals and ironically, I have a load with H4831 (64.0 grns @ 2250 fps) that shoots pretty close to the same point at 100 yards as the 200...

Looks great...great bullet. I haven't fired them yet but have about 200 of them. Also have the 160s for my 280 that are really moving with RL26.

Thanks DrMike, I registered quite a few years ago and periodically browse but never posted. Figured I'd try and post more to share what I have as I've learned and enjoyed what others have.

Shot these into water jugs a while back. The Barnes haven't been in production for some years but they shoot well and their petals are 6 instead of the usual 4:
