Southerngirl Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 what's your favorite for deer hunting? Hank is agravated by the Barnes triple shocks in .243 because after 20-25 shots the barrel is fouled and has to be spotlessly cleaned again or accuracy is comprimised. He has tried different cleaning stuff and thinks he is getting the barrel clean and has followed the Barnes tips for breaking in a new gun. He has put a couple hundred shots thru the gun.

RangerClay Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I really like Nosler Partition bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colorado Bob Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I like "Hornady" interlocks. I use the 180 grain bullet out of my 30/06 for everything. It has worked great on elk, moose, mtn goat, bighorn sheep, antelope,black bear, mtn lion, mule deer & whitetails. When I pull the trigger----time get out the knife.

Southerngirl Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 any thoughts on Berger VLD's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer79 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I use 150gr nosler ballistic tips in my 7mm Weatherby mag,good shot placement with those jaspers,no tracking what so ever.just don't hit a bone,they will make a mess.I believe that berger makes a hunting style round,but they are mostly maketing towards paper punchers.Many folks say that Match type bullets aren't good hunting bullets,but a friend of mine uses 168gr sierra matchkings in his 308,and hasn't lost a deer yet when shot in the vital area.

mailmanmark Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Barnes TSX I really like the Barnes TSX. However I only load for .270 58g H4831 and a 140 TSX consistently gives me groups measuring under .5 @ 100yds out of my Tikka T3. I don't understand why they are fouling so bad. Barnes even says you can go a little over max due to REDUCED fouling. This perplexes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerngirl Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 It may be because it's a fairly new rifle. Hank just got it this spring, it's had 250-300 rounds thru it atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Berger any thoughts on Berger VLD's? Berger's are more of a target bullet than for hunting! Try the 95 grain Hornady, SST bullets! I reloaded some for a kid one year and he had great success with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hornady is a great choice! I agree 100%! However, I personally reload for fun. Typically I buy factory ammo for hunting. Dollar for dollar its next to impossible to beat a Corelokt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubie Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 In my 7mm Rem Mag I usualy use Nosler Partition or Hornady SST in 140 grain for deer. I use 150 grain Hornady in my .303 british, and I mold my own lead bullets and put them on top of some black powder for my .45 Long Colts (this load causes some fowling ;p) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
