ORIGINAL: bear buster
I have used them for the last two years and have shot eight deer with them I shoot A winchester APEX with 150gr 777 and it makes quite A mess when recovering bullets there is not anything left of them I shoot the 245gr .50 cal It works ok but you dont get much penitration I have not had A pass through yet. I would have A little concern about shooting A large buck with them. This year I am going to try the spitfire MZ An all copper bullet that is supposed to retain 100% of its weight. These are made by Barnes. Has any body used these bullets yet how did they work
first, i am no expert but 40 years at this. a hollow point bullet is going to blow apart if pushed at high speed.245 gr,you use, in my opinion is to light. 295 would be much better and 348 is the best,for keeping together at your speed. i use 295 gr with 80 grs of 2f in my .50cal.but 348 is better for deer,just i am hung up on 295.try the new paltimum powerbelts. i bet they will be much better in your gun.me, i dont like RECOIL and my shots are under 100 yards,295 powerbelt is what i use, i load DOWN ,not up.so, bullet does not explode, i shoot better,no flinching.many a deer was missed because of RECOIL,NOISE, SMOKE.i seen it, been there, done it, STILL see it.
