All Around Bullet

[jdb]

ive always had good luck with the 370 grain maxi ball. Ive shot several elk and one deer with this bullet and all have either passed completly through or been found under the hide on the far side. I shoot 85 grains of loose pyrodex out of an t/c hawkin. with a felt wad between the powder and bullet this load will cut a clover leaf at 75 yards.

We have shot quite a few bulls with the 50 black diamond and use 3 50 grain triple seven pellets with 348 power belts they have worked good for us.

I really like the 495gr Noexcuse lead conical and one my bro makes a 510gr Bluestreak conical. Knocks down DRT

I still like my PRB bullets. (precision rifle bullets) I picked them at Sportsmans Whorehouse. They make several models. I shoot the pure lead saboted ones. They are like 300 grn .45 cal. I think they have the blue sabot.

I killed 2 bulls with them. They worked and shot fine for me.

With the new rule allowing us to shoot the copper jacketed stuff I'm going to change next year. I have shot some of the new Hornady 300 grn SST and really like how they group. I was a little nervous about changing right before season with a special permit tag. I have read enough about them from this season that I think next year I'm going to be slinging them. Read some place that they offer them in 400 grn or something big like that. I might see if I can find them just to play around with. I think 300 grn is plenty for elk. They shoot really flat also. Shoot what shoots good for you. Accuracy is more important than weight and the extra recoil could make you pull shots.
