Default RE: Speer gold receipes for Encores

I shoot both the 300 grain and the 250 grain Gold Dot from all of my inlines. I consider the 300 grain a more versitile bullet over the long run but, I would use the 250 to hunt whitetail with in the the terrain that I hunt.

From all the inlines that I shoot both bullets work very well with 110 grains of T7-2f. The exception is the Knight Disc Extreme - I shoot the bullets with 120 grains and in that rifle basically use the 300 grain Gold Dot...

Not to change the subject but Cayugad found a new Speer bullet the other day, well it is not new - but new to me, he purchased some Spreer .458/300 HP's (listed under "Special Purpose Rifle Bullets") These are/were especially designed for the 45/70 Marlin rifle. But the biggie is that they are UNI CORE constructed, but do not have the Gold Dot- You shoot them in an Orange MMP sabot.

They really appear to have great promise, but are a little more expensive than I thought... $30 for 50 - but they could replace the more expensive Barnes/Noslers at $60 per 50
