TKLambert Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ive been shooting the Winchester Supreme ballistic tips. They do a good job on killing, but they blood trail isnt as strong as I want it to be sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? 270 with Hornady 130 grain Interbonds! The blood trail might not be very pronounced because it depends on where the animal is hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? I shoot winchester super X out of my 243 and 30-30 and Remington core lokd out of my 25-06. I've never needed a blood trail with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? It depends on the cartridge and what game I am after. One bullet does not fit all situations. For deer using standard cartridges, I like the Hornady Interlock or the Nosler Ballistic Tip. In magnum cartridges for deer, I use the Scirocco. In magnums for bigger game I use the Scirocco or the Partition. I have never had Ballistic Tips give a bad blood trail unless the hit was bad or very high at close range where there was no exit.

wtnhunt Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? Right now using 150 grain remington core lokts with my model 700 .270. Tried the 130 grain corelokts back before season, and for some reason they just did not group quite as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronin Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? Barnes Triple Shock X-Bullet will probably do you some good. Federal loads them in their Vital Shok line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU_Seminole Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? In my 06 bolt I use 150 grain Rem core lokts. I've shot 2 deer this year. A big bodied 8 point at 160 yards & a big doe at 140 yards. Both dropped in their tracks. The buck got up & stumbled about 10 yards & fell again. The doe never knew what hit her. I'm taking the .270 out this last weekend of the season & I shoot Remington Accu tips. Good long range bullet that carries alot of down range energy. I also like Winchester ammo. If you want more knock down power you should try their power point bullets. I haven't need a blood trail with the core lokts or power points.

LifeNRA Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? Never had to worry about a blood trail! Fartherest any deer went was about 20 yards! .270 win with 130 grain spitzer boat tail. Shot placement will determine how far the deer will go!

TKLambert Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? All the deer that I have shot have fallen down when I shot them, but somehow manage to get up and run about 50 yards, and I am in a thicket so I cant see them and where they go, just and idea of where they are.

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? I am a reloader and for many applications I am partial to the Hornady bullet. For 22 cal I make my own bullets not cast bullets but hand swaged copper jacketed hollow points. In my 7 mag the 160 gr Nosler Partition gets the nod. Hit em with that and no need for a blood trail.

M00N Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Re: What type of bullet do you shoot?? I currently shoot Federal Classic Hi-Shok .243 Win 100-Grain Soft Points. I'm having a real hard time finding these rounds anymore locally for my gun forcing me to order them online. Thinking of going to Federal Premium Vital-Shok .243 Win 100-Grain Sierra GameKing BTSP. Not sure if I'll make the switch or not though. The ones I use now have killed me 5 deer with them and never failed me one time. 2 deer were at 200+yards (deaths in 10 & 20 yards), 1 was at 100-150yards (death in 30 yards), and 2 were at less than 100yards (death instantly & 25 yards). All were single shot kills except the 100-150yard one due to shooter error (gut shot first), but follow up shot was deadly for her and had her down within 10 yards of that shot.
