[QUOTE="joep17, post: 1407378, member: 1457"] In Canada we have suffered shortages of everything. the USA has been short and then we get the left overs. A couple years ago I had a chance to buy a 1990 Kimber of Oregon 7 RM. it was a week before hunting season and I was dieing to try it. All my 7 mag ammo was loaded and tuned to other rifles so I ran out to the closest big shop to buy some brass. None available. They had 5 boxes of Barnes with 150 TTSX factory so I bought them all. On my shelf I had an un-opened 4.5-14 VX3 and threw it on and bore sighted it. Went to the range and it would put 3 shots groups in 0.5" and 5 shot in 0.75 inch at 100 yds with the pencil thin barrel. Went on the trip and dropped 2 animals. I have since shot several animals with this load and rifle. Now I wonder if I should even try to work up a load for this rifle or just feed it factory Barnes? I know it is only a 1 sample example as it has been decades since I shot factory ammo but it shows just how good it is now. [/QUOTE]
