Round nosed bullets - I like 'em
Most of the areas I hunt now, a long shot would be maybe 100yds., and 200 is very, very long. I'm using factory ammo. My 358Win. only has one choice available, from
Winchester, a 200gr. semi-pointed or almost round nosed bullet. It has done real good
on whitetails. For my 700 LSS Mtn. rifle, 270Win., it likes both the 150gr. round nosed loadings from Remington & Federal. Deer don't like 'em at all
In my 308Win. I've used mostly 150gr., and some 165gr., but I'm looking at trying the
Remington 180gr. round nosed core-lokt bullets. Tried a box a couple weeks ago, and
the Sako seems to like 'em okay. Haven't used 'em on deer yet, but doubt if the deer will like these either.
What I won't use is any kind of boattail bullets. Tried 'em when I lived out west years ago. Too many core/jacket seperations with resulting poor penetration [:@]
