Ive been using gs custom bullets for quite a while. They punch way past their weight class. Ive taken everything from kudu to duiker using the 69gr HV at 3500fps. The reason i was looking for an alternative bullet is because the GS are a bit expensive, cost almost twice as much as the vmax im...

Thanx for your advice guys. I settled on 87gr vmax for the howa as they were all i could find. They have a bc of .4 which isint bad. I loaded them at 3050 fps which is a node i calculated using quickload. I get sub moa groups at 500yds and took a egyptian geese today at 501yds so they work quite...

Thanx for the response. You guys dont think the 105gr amax may stabilise in the lrp?

I was wondering if someone could help. I need to know what the highest bc hunting bullets are i can shoot from my .243 howa with 1 in 10 twist. It has a 22 inch barrel. Also my .243 savage lrp with standard barrel. Im from south africa so bullet choices are limited to berger, hornady, nosler...

I use 43.5gr of Somchems S365, a South African powder which is about the same as your imr4350. I use remington brass. Im still a student, so i cant afford the good stuff.

Sorry, just realised i posted this on the wrong place. Is there any way to move it?

Shot a zebra standing broadside at about 200yds and it fully penetrated exiting on the other side. It went about 10yds. The next one took a...

Ive shot them through my howa 1500 with a 22' barrel at about 2950fps using s365 thats about the same as your 4350 without any pressure. Shot a baboon at 380yds with them. They dont have a very good bc though.

New to LRH. Have been reading alot on the site for the last couple of months and I have really learned alot. I currently shoot comfortable at 400yds but im looking to stretch in out to 800. I currently own a 7x57 mauser and a .243 win and im hoping to get my hands on a .338 win soon. My longest...
