    thanks. How many should I use if I want to recover the bullet to see how it expanded? Should I tape them together?

    bullet testing question

    When you test bullets shot into one gallon water jugs: Do you take the cap off or leave them capped tight? Do you tape them together or just stack them one behind the other? Do you place the jugs at 100 yards? How many should I use for the load listed below roughly? Thanks for any help. This...

    338 Fed Quick Load Request Please

    Thanks DrMike. I posted my 2nd post before your post showed up on my computer. The quick load is less than the Hodgdon data and as I remember the Swift book data also. Thank you for taking the time to do this for me.

I also tested a 200gr Nosler BT bullet with same brass/primer and 50.5grs of Win 748 for 2592FPS and SD 1. OAL for...

    Norma Bullets

    how much do you spend on deer hunting--gas/tags/rifle and scope/cost of transportation/camping stuff(or RV) and other extensives?? I bet a lot more than the cost of those bullets or even loaded ammo. Then consider the bullet is the only thing that contacts the animal and determines if you are...

    Where are all the Ballistic Tips?

    I use them for plinking. I have bullets I like better for hunting. Had a couple of bad experiences with the BT hunting with them on deer and pronghorns. Never any trouble with Nosler PAR, Barnes TTSX or LRX and the Swift bullets

    130gr. TTSX in 308 Win.

That make a total length of 16 and 1/8" for the barrel. It shoots well. I have barrels for it in 223/257R(a sweet combo)/308win and...

    130gr. TTSX in 308 Win.

    I was speaking of all the different LRX bullets. I would never use a Barnes bullet that was more than 150gr in a 308win. I prefer the 130gr TTSX
