Does PMC still load them 130 grain Starline bullets? They sound jest about right for suthrun deer?

Dont you mean the 150 grain starfire loads?? yes they do still make them.
No I meant 130 grain bullets, the problem they were havin' was too rapid expansion. I see now how they solved it, 20 grains more bullet. :D

Hello bigcountry,

You did't mention if it was single shot or lever? Watch out with pointed ammo in tube magazines,cause of possible
chain fire.This is not intended as a lesson,just a reminder!!
What I do is insert the first round of reloads PSP ammo of my choice in the chamber and the rest of FN's in the
tube.Your first shot is what counts with a cold barrel.
Pick the bullets and powder from any reloading manual.Check manufactures for bullets. Everyone has thier pet
load. I prefer 150gr in PSP.....This is not intended to offend you,in no way!!

KEEP ON ROOTING!!!

Well, tried 150gr corloks sitting around with 3130 today. Wasn't spectacular by any means. Got the gun sighted in and hitting 1.75" at 50 yards. But this was just for sighting in.

Going to order 170gr partitions. Want a decently hot load. But really prefer 2MOA at 100 yards. Might be a tall order.
