My brother in law dropped off a box of 165 grain Hornady’s that he reloaded. Last week i tried 3 and the group was 1 1/4” at 100 yards, 2” to the right and high of bull. I’ll tighten that up next Sunday when i get back from Maine.
My. Browning 300 WSM did not like any Federal Fusion in 180 and 165. Looking for Hornady 165’s in my travels this week.
Hi abbydog, It's really interesting how different barrels react to different cartridges hey?
The rule I follow, is I never buy a cartridge because of advertising hype or other people's opinion. I go with the cartridge my rifle loves.
As mentioned my .30-06 loves them Winchester SuperX PowerPoints in 180 gr., never changing. My .300 Win Mag loves Nosler Trophy Grade ABLR's in 190 gr., never changing, although I wished it would love a cheaper shell, them puppies are pricy.
Put and decent bullet into the boiler room, and it's game over. Placement matters more than brand name.
Best of luck with the cardiologist!
