Most of the reports I've read have been longer range shots with that bullet. And where I elk hunt I could get a 20 yard shot or a 500 yard shot. Who knows maybe I'll get my elk with my bow this year and start playing with that bullet

Think you'd end up with an extremely dead elk very quickly...grin Tanner

Just saying' So, for that matter, won't the 160 NPT. For now I'm going to try 160 grain accubond and of course 150 grain ballistic tips. But there are nosler partitions in 160 and 175 grain seconds instock for $16.95 that I may end up ordering

I my shoulder sure feels better with the cream of wheat. I'd say she is going to be a shooter. Our antelope aren't very bright Last edited by laker; 04/30/16.

COW loads are an easy hour at the range without all the big noise Bob those 3 were actually already fireformed cases. I stuck 71 grains of IMR 7828 under the 150 grain ballistic tip and that's what became of it. Couldn't get a chrony reading with the morning sun but my guess would be 3150-3200. With a 6x scope I will take that. Sometime this week Im going to play with H1000 and 160 grain accubonds

I took it to 800 and shot 3 and it did this: WTF? Originally Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Longer range are, correct for the wind and break the trigger and they hit where they should.

Depends on the bullet/barrel combo, not a hard rule. Something about the long bullets needing some time/distance to "go to sleep". I've seen it working up loads for my Palma and LR Prone rifles. I have easiest access to a 200yd range and do most of my load workup there and then verify at 600 or 800. There have been several times where the statistical results at 600+ were quite a bit better than what the 200yd groups would have predicted for a given load shot at both distances on same range on same day.

People say this isn't possible but I have heard the same thing from so many match shooters that I just accept it any more...even though I'm not a match shooter. And it seems to pop up as a subject with long heavy for caliber bullets,especially when driven from high velocity magnum cartridges. Rick that's an amazing group! Last edited by BobinNH; 05/02/16.

I've got a load worked up with 150 grain ballistic tips at 3300fps, a 150 grain partition at 3250fps, or a 160 grain accubond at 3200fps. Such a terrible problem I have. I'll probably run the !ballistic tips just cause I can shoot a lot more of them for cheaper and I've yet to be disappointed in them
