Not really a reloading, but a load question. We've been using PMC 180 gr since I bought the Ruger 96 for my son. They work just fine on pigs & whitetails, at very close range, but I'd like to find a commercial load that is more accurate and I'd feel confident about making a clean shot past 30yds.
It will be used for 100-150 # whitetails, but the black bears around here can get freakin' Huge !
Anybody tried a brand/ weight that worked well for them in a carbine ? I was thinking of Fed 240 Hydro-shocks, but I'm wide open for suggestions.
