Good results 150gr ff and Barnes 290TMZ
Any thoughts on terminal performance on an animal? These are designed for 100% weight retention. I don’t hear much talk about these bullets on this forum. Just got these in to try – looks like they shoot great. All the way up to 150 grains T7 FF. Groups were under an 2 inches. I didn’t chrony many loads yesterday but it looks like I need to shoot this some more.
Omega- SS –Fluted Stainless – Laminated Bedded Thumbhole stock- 4-12X swift
Target is 82 yards- MOA is based on 100 yards.
Triple Seven FF , Triple Seven Primers
Wow, very nice. That was the first choice of bullet in my Savage, it did NOT group well for me as it did you. That is the bullet you should go with, it does it all---accuracy (you got that)
penetration (see below)
expansion (see wound channel in ballistic gel)
shoot thru (21" is huge)
long range (if your open fields hunting for 175 to 200 yard shots this is your bullet), sight in 3" high at 100 yards.
see this for PENETRATION:
