Hey rc
Did you ever try any load development with the 130 gr Scirrocco II
(a hunting bullet ) ?
Great shooting but somehow getting a great load with a "splatter" bullet just doesn't mean as much (to me). Then again at extended ranges the splatter bullet might have better terminal performance than a bonded bullet. Whatcha think?
Not yet woods! I think with the velocities we're talking about (2800 or so) the "splatter" bullets just may be the ticket to expansion at long range. I'll be doing development on a super lightweight Creedmoor for a hunting gun soon. Probably just use the "target" bullets. My competitive friends shoot the target bullets all of the time for game and have reported great results.
Now for elk, I doubt it! Probably won't use the Creedmoor either!
