Well I have decided to test this bullet, I have 80 or so of them and my 257 Roberts is already sighted in for 100 gr. Ballistic Tips. Probably require minimal sight adjustment. Going down to the property tomorrow and making sure the feeders are all running, what the memory cards are showing etc., setting dogprufe traps and tuesday or so weather permitting I am going down on a Raccoon elimination mission. I'm so old I am going to nap in the shooting shack til 1am, wake up and start shooting. The trapeze off of the feeder boxes is going to have a hiccup!

I’ve shot some pigs, coyotes and stuff with them out of my 257Wby. They work fine at those speeds.

Rick I've got more than a few boxes of Herter bullets picked at gunshows for 5-10 a box. They work just fine. Mb

Loaded them on top of the same load of I4350 I use with the 100 gr. Ballistic Tips and they hit just a hair lower than the BT's. Might do a side by side jug test and see just how much better the Ballistic Tips are .If they are better.

Well had hernia surgery and so far all I got away with was putting out some hog toys. The wife just happened to not be home that day. Feeling a lot better now at week 4. I could do the jug test this weekend.
