Last week I went to purchase some more 180 grain 338 caliber Ballistic tips; they have a maroon tip, and the supplier told me they no longer have them or can get them. I was told that Nosler is now making a 180 grain in the Accubond round for the 338 caliber. I've been shooting the BT's for...

Cypher, found a shop that took all of them.

My own experience with barnes has been less than exciting. I'll stay with the Nosler products until they get out done. I have had nothing but excellent results with the 7mm 140 and 150 gr selections and I can't say enough about the 180gr ballistic tips in 338. Antelope Sniper is right on about...

Absolutely a 200 gr 338 BT

+ 1 for stating with the Noslers

Contact B&S guns in Mesqite Texas, Great Guns in Burleson Tx, and Downing Guns in Cleburne Tx. Downing had two week before last, and will call you if he gets a trade in. B&S had one a couple of weeks ago and will hunt one up for you. Ruger and Taurus both have a good feel but I've only seen a 4...

Does anyone know of a gunsmith or machine shop that will refurbish and polish dies. I was given several that were 'barn stored' for a number of years. I have been able to clean up the outer surface on a couple but its gonna take some one with the right equipment. Also would they give a break on...

Squeeze, I am an addicted big bore handgun fanatic. I do have a preference for Ruger products and I also have a selection of Freedom Arms toys and a couple of the big Smiths. I also have a couple of TC that I like and have built some a couple of my own monster bore based on the TC design. I...

Great site Joe, I've used it in the past. Have you used these soft points? Would like to here if anyone has and there ideas for a best load.

Quick question on 38 cal 150gr SP #42056, how about any ideas on loading this round for a 357 mag. Barrel lengths vary from 2 to 14 inches. I have some good data on 140 gr and 158 gr but I don't have any on the 150's. Charges would be the upper scale and powder selection is open. I was given a...

JT, congradulations on continuing the tradition. I so vividily remember the first time I got to whitetail hunt with my dad. We didn't shoot anything until our 5th trip out but the knowledge I gained, the patience he had, and seeing the wildlife around made that trip one to last a life time...

I was brought up hunting with my maternal grandfather and my dad, and my paternal grandfather hunted when he was younger. They all made sure I understood to respect the law, treat nature with respect, and give other hunters the respect they need. Sure some folks don't share the same views as I...

Bullet, I'd like to know how the test come out on the 168 gr rounds.

Ok folks heres a question. Does anyone have any data good or bad on using Etips in long ranges? I tried using Barnes copper several years ago and had mixed results between 250 and 375 yds. Beyond that I had open groups and several fliers from 400 to 525 yds. I also noticed keyholes on the target...

Nomosendero, I have an 8in barrell on the redhawk that is magnaported and the last 1/4 in has been relieved of riflings, I'm not 100% sure on the FPS but in the first testing we did at 21.5 gr of H110 we used a cheapo chronograph and was seeing 1380 as an average. I've gone up a bit for the...

W99, I was in Gulfport from 88-90 with 74. Went down 30 days after Katrina. What a mess. Sure miss Salty Dawgs and Pops Ferry. :shock:

Desert Fox, I have a an old model Eagle ( made in Isreal) that I love to shoot. Over the past 15 years I've loaded just about everthing you can in this pistol. From 180 gr XTP's to 300 gr SP. I have found two loads that will cycle everytime in mine and my buds new model. We use a 200 gr XTP...

Ok folks heres a question for you, have any of you shot the E tips in 400 yd plus ranges. I tried on several occasions to load Barnes copper bullets in my 7 mag and 30-06 but had horrible results with grouping past 275 yds. I have been using the Nosler 140 gr BT for the past 6 years now in my...

After reading the replies here I wanted to share a thought on self defense loads. I have had the pleasure of serving as an armorer for the Navy Spec Ops and for a Seabee armory. The difference in commercial loads, military loads, and what our SF boys use is night and day. One of the best rounds...

Hey antelope sniper, sorry didn't get any pics. The first round went through the hood, air breather, carb setup, angled right into the master cylinder and shattered it. The second round went in through the radiator, through a fan blade, into the water pump housing and exploded on the cam. We put...
