[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 2418757, member: 2460"] not worried about weight forward affecting accuracy, I've shot a fair number of Jack Carters original Bear Claw bullets back in the 90's with a Win 70 300 Win Mag, killed some of my biggest moose out beyond 400 yards, with a flat base semi-spitzer bullet with a single digit bc, lol , point is, the accuracy was great and I never experienced any issues with the nose heavy bullets, I simply did my homework by shooting my loads in the field in 100 yard increments out to 500 yards and taking notes of my bullet impacts at each distance and hunting in the confines of my ability and knowledge of bullet splash at target ... without accuracy it would not have been possible to take some of the moose and black bear, but I did , funny thing is I shot Swift AFrames with the 8mm Rem Mag and same results, two very differently constructed bullets but both just as effective and accurate the last couple years I've been shooting the 175 & 200 gr 30 cal TLRs and 175 Terminal Ascent bullets which are based on the bear claw design, weight forward via bonded lead core and solid copper rear, no issues with accuracy yet and moose die on bullet impact I do have some questions on if the bullet will have a tail dragging effect from the cavity back, possible early loss of stabilized rotation ? only way to find out is to shoot them beyond 500 yards, 100-200 yards ain't gonna tell us anything other than they shoot fine or not AT THAT range .. gotta take them for a long walk [/QUOTE]
