I always had good performance with the 165gr Ballistic Tip back when I had a 30-06.
Never had to track a deer. It was always right where I shot it.
50 yards to 300 yards.
Yeah, if i had only one or two cartridges, i'd probably buy factory ammo.
But 5 pistol cartridges and 15 different rifle cartridges, buying factory ammo is out of the question.
Not to mention the obscure cartridges i have.
Haven't seen much in the way of 250 Savage loaded up with 115gr...

Federal has used a lot of different bullets over the years in their Premium line.
Nosler Ballistic Tips, Partitions, and others.
So you need to identify the bullet that you're looking for.
So, $80-105 a box of 20, eh?
Try shooting Weatherby Magnums and let me know what you...
Biden White House is in favor of killing ALL the deer.
Then he can get rid of that stupid 2nd Amendment because nobody would need to have guns for hunting.
Tell us how you really feel!! Lol
It would appear that the forestock on the Accustock is no better than the Tupperware stock of old.
On mine, I roughed them up.
Cleaned with starter fluid (no oils).
Sprayed automotive adhesion promoter.
Then lightweight Bondo.
Didn't add a ton of weight...
I'm seriously thinking of sending my new to me Ruger 77 MKII stainless with the Zytel stock to @p_ham to have him do a barrel for me.
Something in polished stainless, 24" chambered in 280AI.
Fluted sporter would be cool!!
Luckily, the wind during my matches wasn't anywhere near what i've been shooting this week.
If i recall correctly, i think the worst wind i shot a match in was fairly steady ranging 5-10mph.
Definitely enough to throw off shots at 400 yards!
But this week.
Wind at bench 7mph by my meter...
I'm planning on a hunt in Wyoming this year.
Figured since you never know what the weather will be, I've started practicing more during high wind days here.
I set out a 6" diameter steel plate at 300 yards.
Shooting with variable winds ranging from 5-25mph.
Very telling on the effects the...
Different state, different laws.
And differing views from the Game Commission.
Up here, there is talk that Sunday hunting might actually have a chance due to some farmers group not being against it now.
Whatever the heck that has to do with our game laws beats me, but it's the backwards way...
Several years ago during deer rifle season, came to a parking area where people head some distance into the woods. There's a couple of hiking trails in, and a mix of open woods and some thick growth.
As I pull into the parking area, there stands a beautiful 10 point.
Sometimes you don't have...
