Accubonds and Barnes bullets pretty popular with reloaders. "I threw a touchdown pass in the last minute to win the state championship game. I know it was 30 years ago and not relevant to this discussion but it makes me important and believable, it's the only great thing I even accomplished"

You never know when I"ll grab one and bust a deer or hog. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Me too, be the first try with that bullet, will be powered by CFE-223 in my 16" PSA multi, a Buds having pig problems over on his deer hunting property. We'll have a spot and smoke weekend on 'em soon. Gunner Trump Won!

Be interested to hear how the CFE works out for you. I know pigs are tough but cuzz killed one with his 17 Rem and a 20 gr bullet. I've killed one with a 44 sp but the rest have fallen to mostly 50 gr NBT's. Another pard killed right at 20 with his 22 mag. But good bullets might kill em even deader.

Sure hope it works cause I heard it was the same form factor as the 75gr but with a little less lead in the core. Any truth to the rumors??? John Burns I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

Yes they are, Buds place is up near Lake Tenkiller, figuring the 55 gr TSX's placed well will insure a clean kill so's we can quickly move to the next group of recipients. Gunner Trump Won!
