[QUOTE="esorensen, post: 72459, member: 4302"] B I didn't mean to get you worked up about the bullet issue. The Lazerhead is a Barnes TSX. I have never shot anything with a Barnes bullet, however I hear that they function quite well despite their homogeneous idiosyncracies. I have a friend of mine that used the old 30-378 with the ox-150 (lazerhead forerunner) that killed 2 cow elk at about 400 yards with results he had never seen in 30+ years of hunting and 40+ elk kills. These cows were both hit broadside lung shots and both never took a second step. I could go into more detail later if you want. My whole point of this exercise was to possibly create an economy version of the 30-378 and ox-150 combo. I'm quite confident that when this load is tuned, anything from coyotes to cow elk are done with point and shoot out to about 400 with little to no hold. That was the objective.
