Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 64 gr. Nosler test fire

Good to see that one up and running.... sweet rig.

I could really like 36gr of powder moving the 140s.....

Still breaking it in, wish the rings were lower but they are low Talleys on a 20 MOA rail. Now to tweak the load and start shooting out to 1500 yds and build a calibrated turret cap.

Man, that thing shoots almost as good as a .270.

I found the bullet I sectioned. Pretty stout..

Yep, I have boxes upon boxes of Federal Premium .223 (SAAMI) laying around the house with those very same bullets in them. Work just fine on shoulders and such.

Looks like the old Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. That should work on deer and antelope.

They're not an X, but I don't see them coming apart easily -- especially at 223 velocities. They should be a good bullet for guys with slower twist rifles. The over runs were $23.75 per 100. Pretty affordable considering their competition....

The core is bonded to the jacket and you can push those as fast as possible and they will not come apart. Have you ever heard of Bitterroot Bonded Core,Trophy Bonded was a sort-a copy of those.

Yeah. I actually have a couple boxes of factory 22-250 Federal 55gr TBBC's left. They worked well...I just need a 22-250 again.

Sounds like a new/used .22-250 may be coming your way.

I gotta load up some of those 64s in the .22-250 and see how it likes them...

Was wondering the same thing,maybe I can talk the wife into letting me try them in her .22-250,you know,one load for deer,antelope and coyotes.

There you go....

Looks like they have more potential than the 60gr Partitions. Not sure why, but I could never get them to shoot well in any rifle I tried them in.

Easier said than done,BUT,it do make sense. Going to go and try and convince her that it's a good idea.

Just a thunk...but when they first came out JB ran a box on a Juenke concentricity comparator for me and separated them into three piles...good, better, and best. I loaded them all the same and shot them in a known entity, and thats exactly how they shot...maybe concentricity issues with the tiny dual cores?...your guess is as good as mine...

Will buy a box of the 64 gr Nosler and try them in her .22-250.
Now have to pay bills and then the bullets.

PM your address and I'll send you 50 of blems. I can't see anything wrong with them.....

PM sent

I remember that. However, I didn't believe them. Most people who went through the public education system can't multiply by 100, or even 10. I knew it wouldn't catch on.
