That was my idea to lighten things up some. And I had all the parts. I was looking at the 25-06 AI... I passed...
I run hot and cold on ballistic tips. Used them for years. Great accuracy but had alot of dead deer running type situations.
Mashburn. Ran 150g BT... Had two deer run over 150 yards. Switched out to a 168g hunting Berger.
Without a dought the biggest mess I've ever seen.
Disgusting. Bullet exploded. Never seen anything like that.
Switched out to the 26 Nosler and accubond. Worked well.
The 270 STW. Was a fun project. Very hard on barrels.

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
