[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 424037, member: 9172"] I can tell you exactly what will happen if I say to swich to a "priemium" bullet. He will say never mind...no big deal, and go to his closet and drag out some 20+ year old 150 grain factory shells. NOT PRIEMIUM 150, mind you!!! He liked how the factory 150's shot in his old gun. All he wanted from me when he baught the new gun was to break in his gun and sight it in ...all with the 20 + year old factory 150's. I just couldn't do it. After I finished my load work I drug him to the range with his factory shells, my hand loads, my chrono, and some targets.....and he was still not fully convinced!!! Even after showing him some down range energy numbers!! He is just not a hand loader, and he stated yesterday that he would "rather switch back to his 150's than to mess with that priemium stuff". Now he LOVES the 180's. And he knows that I love and shoot the 210's, which also work GREAT in his gun.....just never tried them at moose..... NOPE...the choice is 180 NBT, 210 VLD, or old crappy factory 150's. That is it. I recomended Barns, Patritions, and Fail-Safe's...I have all three on the shelf. He say's no. So again......180 or 210...that is the question. [/QUOTE]
