With all this talk about bullets I thought I might say something about the direction I have gone.
About a year ago I got my first White rifle and at the same time started shooting lead conicals anywhere from 420 grains up to 535 grains. I also found that if the bullet is sized right they will perform well in my other rifles as well.
The advantages I see are accuracy, and low cost of shooting plus tremendous knock down power. The cost of shooting becomes even more of a factor because these conicals do best with a lower powder load than most of you are use to using.
These heavy bullets have tremendous downrange performance because of their weight.
The downside, if you want to call it one, is that if you shoot much past 100 yards you have to be prepared to compensate for the bullet drop. This of course requires a lot of practice at different ranges. The accuracy is still there its just that you have more of a rainbow to your trajectory than the lighter pistol bullets.
Just my thoughts.
