I was wondering if anyone has ever tried the Buffalo Bullet 385 grain conicals out of their fast twist rifles. I am going to start them at 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f and then push them to see where they start to fail.
These have a hollow base and a small hollow point. So I will not be using a wad of any kind. If they are accurate, I think they would make an excellent deer load. Since I bought an entire case of them at a very reasonable price,I can experiment with them a little..
Any experience with them or thoughts would be appreciated. Doug, what powder charge were you shooting under them? Also I might try a MMP Sub Base under them and see how they react with them.
Cayugad,
You've stocked up
! There's that mixed case of powder and if you mind me asking, where did you get case qty. pricing for the buffalo's?
In my Sidekick, the Buffaloes are a lot easier to load than GP's. They must be a little smaller diameter than the GPs. I'd like to have a hardness tester just to see if they (the Buffaloes) are softer than the GP's or if that is just in my mind. So far the tightest group has been with the GP's but I altered my rest to the better so it'll take more shooting to know if it was the GP's or the rest. I guy has got to keep all the controls but one the same or one can't tell which made the difference[&:].
I suspect the 385 BBs will shoot very well out your fast twist rifle. With 75 grains Pyro P, theSidekick shot the 385 GP's into avery tight (for me anyway)group at 50 yards and almost clover-leafed. May have if I had notmessed up my last shot!
Keep us posted!
Happy hunting, Phil
