[QUOTE="Longrifle2506, post: 833821, member: 68135"] Thanks a lot for the replies guys! I am not sure about the TIPPED Trophy Bonded bullets being available as reloading components. You would think they would be though! I read on a terminal ballistics page; that 130 grain bullets deliver super fast kills at 300 yards +; and at 400 yards they deliver a good clean, but slightly delayed kills. The same page said that 150 grain bullets absolutely shine in the .277 caliber. But I will not be Elk hunting with it. The whole purpose of the rifle is for a Mule Deer Hunt in the future. I like 130 grain bullets for the milder recoil; plus they should be more than adequate for mule deer. And the fact it's a trophy bonded 130-grain bullet should help in killing-power. I just love The new Zeiss Conquest HD5! It's the first time I wanted to use a ballistic type reticle to be able to hit at different ranges, and Zeiss has the ballistics/reticle match up perfect.
