[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 1169232, member: 83819"] Got a box of Federal trophy bonded tip for my 270. 140 grain and they shoot awesome. About 1/4" at 100 yards. I was talking to a gunsmith and he said absolutely do not shoot those bullets because they are nickel plated and will foul the barrel and since most solvents are made for copper fouling it is next to impossible to get rid of the nickel fouling. Just wondering if there is any truth to that. This gunsmith knows his stuff so I want to trust his opinion but these bullets shoot so well out of my rifle I want to use them but I don't want to screw my rifle if they are bad for it [/QUOTE]
