Yep, with "several boxes" he could sight it in, then practice with other bullets until heads out on the hunt. Save a good bit off moneythat way. They certainly don't give the new bullets away.

Thank you for all the feedback. I was not able to get to it until this weekend as I had a hard disk failure and it took a bit to get my system up and running again.

I was primarily concerned that Federal found some deficiency in the Nosler round but from I have heard, they just decided to go with a different and perhaps on paper better round.

I will give what I got a try and hopefully not let some thinking that a "better/new/improved" round will fix my somewhat jerky trigger finger!

They went backwards. The NP has a much higher BC, better down range energy and it will put down anything in north america in a 7mm 160 grain.Barnes has poor BC similar to bear claw BC. 300 yds. and under all are good.

I read the new Trophy Bonded Tip has a better BC than all of them, with the same terminal performance as the Bear Claw. If this is the case, it will be a very nice hunting bullet!
