OK guys,
Just got back from Africa and took almost every animal (15 critters in all) using my 264 win mag. The first day we (me and my son) took two warthogs and both dropped in their tracks using the 140 gr. SST. That evening, I took a gemsbok at 200 yards with the same load and shot him...
I guess i'll have to try them some time. I was always a big fan of the partition, they flew well and were pretty consistent on big game. I've also used the Ballistic Tips and although they flew well I was not very impressed with terminal performance on large game. I almost bought the Acu-bonds...
Thanks for the input Bravo4. I picked up a box of the 140gr SST and loaded em up. I found my sweet spot using 44 grains of IMR 4064 (dime sized groups at 100yds)
Also, I removed my barrel and sanded off the pressure pad just back of the fore end.
What a huge diff! I also tried the Barnes...
Man, it seems like they're either loved or hated! I'm headed to Africa and wanted to bring my .264 along for some lighter game but can't seem to find anything that preforms to my satisfaction in the accuracy dept. I originally loaded Sierra 140gr spbt with 46 gr IMR 4064. I got decent groups...
