Just thought I would leave a quick question on what some of you
guys think about the Dead Center Bullets as far as performance
for a hunting bullet..I have used afew in my Mustang rifle 50 cal.
But never for any type of hunting...Accuracy was fair,but then
again I was just playing around with the rifle.When I get the new
scope on it,then I will get more serious with it..So please feel
free to leave your thoughts on this bullet.....Off to do some
chopping now that the rain has stopped and the sun is drying
things off a bit.......Johnny
I have shot them in my Omega and Knight. Accurate good bullet, but soft lead that deforms. I did not consider them as a hunting bullet because of 1) cost and 2) availability. They are now sold by Cabelas, so that takes care of the availability, but the cost is very high. I don't consider them a strong bullet, that will shoot thru shoulders. Maybe I am wrong on that, but the soft lead gave me pause. Folks that have hunted with them know their accuracy is their biggest selling point along with their long range capability. I think there are much better for the price, like a 300g SW or a 300g Barnes TMZ, the SW are about 1/2 the cost and the TMZ are about the same at $1. + per shot.
Oh, they are from Canada, so if a democrat is in office in 2009 there was a bill on the House or Senate floor to make MLers a "firearm" again, and I look for "imports" of bullets to be a "national security issue" under a Democratic administration/Leadership. You know the deal.
