[QUOTE="asd9055, post: 2368823, member: 73445"] This is interesting. In mid 80's I bouhgt an old (1959 WBY), came with 6 boxes of ammo from 110, 150 and 180. Original owner bought it when he bought the rifle new (he was stationed in W. Germany). Shot all those the first day and got a black and blue shoulder. Time to reload. No way I could afford to buy WBY ammo. (Mid 80's) When I walk into the LGS, I was not sure what to buy. My loading experience had been 9mm Luger. I bought a Lyman handbook, liked the way Nosler Ballistic tips looked, Decided 180 sounded about right for the 300WBY, I have never loaded any other brand of [B]hunting[/B] bullets since then. I played around with all others, and I have one rifle setup for Barnes, but only hunted with Noslers, When I took my son to Africa, Obama years, I drove 3 years each way to get 200 NAB and 200 Nosler Partitions. Set up my rifle for the partitions and my sons for the AB. Very happy hunt! 7 annimals each In Texas, we harvest, so anything really kills, but I still load Ballistic Tips. Load those in my 22-250, 243, 270 and 30.06. When things get better I will try Hammers. I just picked them for the looks, and happy ever since! [/QUOTE]
