I’ve had super good terminal performance from 40 Gr Winchester power points.
You beat me to it H&Hhunter. As my ol' dad use to say about any calibers, cartridges, bullets and/or guns he liked, "They just kill better."I’ve had super good terminal performance from 40 Gr Winchester power points.
I use the dividers that are in the 30 packs of Budweiser for targets
I like 788, and your thrift is admirable.View attachment 896485 I have had thay 788 in 243 topper with a Redfield for clost to forty years and hsve shot aleast thirty maybe thirty-five deer with it. It can shoot with the best of them. I shoot 100 grain Soft points through it with good results.

How do you like my home made targets.
I write what each target was shot with, what gun, what load, what projectile and what powder and they are all on one durable target that won't get trashed by handleing them like the regular paper targets. And easy to store.
Plus collecting the raw material for the base target is enjoyable for me, my grandson gets the cash from the recycled aluminum to save up for his KelTec P32. It's a win/win situation. He has close to $200 saved up from recycled aluminum, brass & copper I salvage from work and when I am out & about.
If I see anything worth taking to the recycler I pick it up and bring it home for him.
