[QUOTE="splattermatic, post: 149960, member: 6781"] what did we kill animals with years ago ? sierra sbt's, nosler pt's, remmy corelokt's, etc... i understand modern technology and all, but why must we spend soooo much money on premium bullets these days, to kill the same game we did years ago ? i am down to a few barnes tsx's, and wanted to buy more. started looking around and the **** things are going for almost a buck a bullet !!! screw that, they can keep em, i can't see punching more holes in paper than game, at that price. i had some old nosler pt's on the shelf, 180 gr., .30 cal's... so i loaded up some this a.m., and went shooting.... put em over 98.0 gr's of reldr 25, set off the rifling .030, in my 300 rum. clean barrel, and the first 4 shots with this load went into a 1 inch vertical by 1/2 hor., group, at just over 3300 fps ! a little tweeking and i think it'll work just fine for whatever i wanna kill with it. and btw, [url="http://www.shootersproshop.com"]www.shooterproshop.com[/url] sells nosler factory seconds for 15 bucks a box of 50. ordered 3 boxes and 1 of .338 250's just a bit ago. 200 bullets with shipping for @ 80 bucks... anyone else tired of spending the big bucks for these just gotta have premium bullets ?? sure the bc's, may not be the "best" for the partitions, nor a bt, but they have a better bc than a tsx, and there's not much a difference against a sieera gameking bt. both sighted in at 300 yards, same 3300 fps, same everything, and the drop at 800 yards is just 2.7 inches different ! i shake more than that !! is there a reason, the rage is these new bullets ?? didn't we kill game just as dead with the old ones ?? that are cheaper ?? okay, rant off..... have a great day all, going home in a bit to load some more..
