Seafire,
Thanks for the Welcome
I have about 3 pounds of IMR4064 and only use it in my 6mm and my 45/70. Since I don't shoot my 45/70 very much I'll be loading solely for my 6mm until things break loose with the market. I'm hoping the "panic buying" or what ever is going on stops soon. I also hope that due to this craziness, price don't go up.
I had been shooting the Nosler 80 gr. Ballistic Tips for a while but I was not satisfied with performance. I had a few hogs get to their holes. A week later I'd see the same hog. You're thinking, how'd he know it was the same hog? Because when I hit him in the head and checked him I found a scabbed over wound through his right shoulder. I then assumed the others that got away could have been the same or they died in the den. I went to the 75 gr. Hdy HP and then to the 75 gr. Hdy V-Max. Both performed quite well. I stayed with the HDY's until I discovered the 80 gr. Blitz. NASTY bullet!. Accurate in my custom M98 with a Shilen sporter 26 inch bbl and 1-10 twist. Imr-4064 behind it.
I've never ventured out of PA (except deer just over the boarder into MD) for hunting anything. I'm retired now and would really like to try some prairie dog and antelope long range hunting some day.
Have a great day and keep on shoot'n!
Jim
