As ‘amazing’ as 77s and monos can seem, they’re always a step down from other stuff on anything over 75#. I have used them on plenty of deer and hogs, and that’s made me not ‘prefer’ any 223/556 bullet for deer/hogs. If I were hunting tons of pigs in TX or OK 2-3 nights a week, then $ vs volume...

Whichever shoots best, expands, and gets into enough to kill’em. 77gr SMK has worked fine for me when I had to use 223. I prefer 6.8SPC. I’m fortunate to still have some ammo stockpile left, and I see cheap 6.8 pop up from time to time. It was noticeably ‘better’ than 6.5G and 223 on game for...

Great to know. Thanks.

Maybe covered, but can’t find it: can a standard 6.5-06 chamber be cleaned to Sherman?

Thanks for the Graf's link. I found some of the Prvi 139SP loads that I've ordered to shoot and keep brass. Went ahead and traded the (50) 6mm brass (RP) for (100) 358 225gr accubonds. :) BTW: I had $0.39/case in the 6mm brass, and have $1.00/rd in the Prvi (shipped), so I think I'll come out...

Anyone necked up 6mm brass to 7x57? I have some 6mm, and new 7x57 is high. Any insights appreciated.

I was very impressed with the factory 243 fusion bullet performance on a whitetail at 267 yards today. I think the speer 90gr deep curl is the closest component to the 95gr fusion. Speer Bullets - DeepCurl Some feedback here: Speer Deep Curl Loading Data - 24hourcampfire Measured 24 " of...

:D well, mostly I was twisting tails on this board full of Berger-lovers. It's different theories, is all. If I hunted the west, regularly, I would probably change some details. I have not used the LRAB/ABLR stuff, yet. However, I do use certain nosler ballistic tips for hunting the southern...

It is kinda confusing seeing complaints about one bullet coming apart, then turning to a frangible for 'reliability'.

Re: Rifle bullets .264 - .277 - .284 - .308 -nosler-sierra-hornady-speer-remington-ba I will take a box (1box of 100ct) of these, if still available: "7mm (.284) 150-gr. NOSLER Ballistic Tips (3-boxes of 100-ct. each. - 2 of the boxes have same lot number.) My price per 100-ct. box (not...

Your G1#s line up with mine. That shows me the difference. Thanks. FWIW, I'm just scoping #s for high BC hunting bullets, pushed to 7x57 handloading velocities. Sorry, but for my uses, Bergers would never be a consideration. Barnes probably won't, either. Old school cup and core, for now.

Yep, was doing that, as well....the #s just look too good/different. Let Fly requires manual BC input, when using a non-catalogued bullet.

Don't get to my PC sometimes, and generally use a few ballistics apps in my phone...mostly let fly dlxz. Seems to be pretty good for most of my needs, but I'm using the G7 BC option for studying some 7mm LRABs in 150 & 168, and the #s it's giving me are pretty hard to believe. Using the G1 BC, I...

Been into long range shooting for years. Will likely never consider myself a long range 'hunter'. I hunt. Juste tired of the little floaty 'join me' box that pops up every time I visit. :D
