I was wondering the same. Broad statement. I couldn't imagine better results with Hornady over Nosler with like type bullets. Generally speaking.Lefty,
When you say you went back to Hornady, do you mean you went back to the GMX bullets that Hornady makes?
I have great luck with Barnes bullets but never found what I was looking for with the GMX line.
I was shooting them at "normal" .020 and some closer, so I may revisit their use....Nothing wrong with them, that some reading and reloading couldn't cure . I've read that they like at least a 100 thousants jump to the lands, some rifles even more....
May want to visit hammers before tossing more e tips. Very easy to load for and thread on here that outlines their effectiveness on game at all ranges.I was shooting them at "normal" .020 and some closer, so I may revisit their use....
I don't mind the GMX... I have some of the 130's loaded for my 270. That rifle (a Tikka t3) actually likes the Barnes MRX 130's but they are rare as hens teeth lately so I usually shoot cup and core Hornady or nos bt's in it.
I'd love to but cost prohibitive for me. I have a bunch of Barnes and E-tips to use up first. Maybe the cost will come down by then...May want to visit hammers before tossing more e tips. Very easy to load for and thread on here that outlines their effectiveness on game at all ranges.
I see so many projectiles mentioned over and over but never any love for the Nosler E-Tips. I've used many and harvested a few animals with them with good results. What's your actual experience with them on paper or game?
That's actually a buy on the mrx pills... I think I paid more for mine on sale... More like $1.50 each... The bad part is you had better buy up 500 of them if you actually want to develop a load and shoot it for a while... I've got my eyes on a Smith model 25 with a pinned barrel right now... Bullets will have to wait...Haven't checked recently, but these guys bought up the last of the stock of the MRX's in .277" diameter a while back. They are 150-grains, not 130's. Probably as close as you're gonna get :

I was looking into this a while back, when I was looking at buying a 270. I ended up with a 280, so that was the end of my search for 270 bullets. Hope this helps you out.
