[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2540982, member: 108611"] I’ve said this before in this forum. Barrels and guns generally like some bullets and don’t like others. I’m 74, and when I started reloading with my Dad at 9, he taught me to first by several types of factory loads and see which the gun shot bestBEFORE hand loads—his opinion was that it eliminated a lot of chaff, and pointed you in the right direction. I do it today and with the excellent factory loads today I’ve become somewhat lazy. My “go-to” gun is an off the shel Browning ss hunter in .300 WinMag. I used the same philosophy when I bought it. I found it shot three combos well in 180gr— Barnes, Federal and Swift. Swift A-frames are still my favorite in accuracy, perpetration and stopping. Nothing new or slick, but works on North American, European and African big game and most of the energy is dissipated INSIDE the animal, and nearly all the bullets are found in one piece. I’m decidedly am old fashioned, but one shot kills up to 550-600 yards away, on tough critters like kudu and eland, are plenty of proof for me. [/QUOTE]
