I worked up the load for the boattail bullet. I have not shot an animal as of yet with the load or bullet. Will post my resluts from my efforts in this forum (hopefully) later this year.


Do you have any expierence on game with this bullet?

I do not. It's quite accurate. But I'm a little leery of Sierra GK's when pushed too fast.
