I have been a fan of the 60 gr Hornady sp for about thirty five years. In 1979 I killed my first muley buck at 200 yds with one from a 22-250. 36.3 gr of IMR 3031 pushed it to about 3700 fps from a 26 inch Wea Mk V Varmintmaster.
I really like cheap bullets for the fact that I can shoot the schit out of em all summer long and then have full confidence in knowing exactly what the trajectory will be when I pull the trigger on game.
Of course that was all a lot more important in 1979 than it is today with the availability of electronic range finders, GPS, scope turrets, and ballistics apps on peoples' phones.
But even with all the modern toys, I usually stick with one bullet and load per rifle.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

That's an awesome pic of Shrapnel.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Deflave, I'm going to correct you. Feel free to tell me to GFY. The term FUPA is only used when referring to the female gender. When referring to the male gender the correct term is dick-do. You know when your gut sticks out more than your dick do.

As a result of my rather sheltered life, I didn't know what FUPA meant, so I Googled it.

Nice spine shot. Nice spine shot Nice neck shot. I can't really tell on the next three, but over all it looks like good shooting had a lot to do with dead critters....

Flave,
Given enough twist, pick one Barnes:
53TSX 55TTSX 62TSX
And why?

I assume y'all wait for perfect broadside presentation before shooting Bambi with 22 cals. Is that true? As Ingwe said not necessarily. The pic of me and buck that Dave posted was shot at 426 and he was broad side. However, the antelope below was shot facing me at 340, through the chest and through the heart and because of the angle several ribs on the way out. The whitetail was shot hard quartering away at a run at 125. In through the short ribs stopped under the skin on the offside. All three were shot with a 62 grain ttsx going 3500+. [/quote]

Need to run those bullets through an exbal program first before I know they'll work.

They may be too big, clunky, slow and low B.C. Might not work. I like the 55 grainers myself�.

So Gruff, What are the specs on that rifle in your pics. Looks like a 600 action. I ask because I have a 660 I am thinking about building on. Thanks
