Yup, 7 years ago...
These are the bullets my buddy brought me.. so I loaded them up for him..
I shoot these due to their accuracy, so I have experience with them... my standard load is just 30 grains of 4198..
that is what I loaded up for Warren... and we are talking Antelope sized black tails here in S. Oregon..
The load and bullet worked for him that season just fine...in fact shot in his large wooded back yard...
he's was a Marine with 2 tours under his belt during Vietnam.. he knows how to shoot well
The following season, he stepped up to a 95 gr Ballistic tip over a charge of 4895 or 4064....
both that I use... also taught him to reload.. so he does his own...and still uses the ballistic tip now..
I usually look at the dates on the posts before I say anything (if I say anything), but this one bit me. Funny thing, though, as I shoot both of those bullets in my 243’s. Those are actually the only 2 I shoot. I’ve never had a problem with either of you know your limitations. Sounds like your friend accidentally made them work as well...
