    Older bullet changing color

    If you are concerned about the color...drop them in your tumbler for a short time .... I add a little wax in my corn cob....it will polish the bullets and the wax will keep them from tarnishing for a good while ...

    Anyone loaded the Hornady 160 grain RN .264 in the 6.5 Creedmoor?

    The 120 grain Barnes TTSX bullet over the most suitable powder you have ... Look at the Barnes data and pick a powder you have...

    Lead Free Effectiveness

    Reason I asked was ... there are multiple grains weight bullets(copper) and styles in the same caliber... I deal with Barnes ...there are TSX and TTSX... I don't care at all for the TSX... those seem not to expand like the TTSX will. Then you have bullet weight... take .308 caliber ...the TTSX...

    Yildiz experience anyone?

    I have a Yildiz O/U 20 gauge... been a good shooting gun ... zero problems .... several thousand rounds through it ... I am sure it won't hold up like any of the "B" guns ... but I can buy three or four for the B guns prices .. Been using it in the dove fields .... happy so far

    .243 80gr GMX for deer?

    The GMX are a nice looking bullet ... I can't remember the B.C. of the 80 grain .243.... I was unable to get a decent group with multiple work ups ...being limited in supply I did not shoot a lot of my RL17.... but tried several similar powders/COAL without success... I ended up finding 3 boxes...

    .243 80gr GMX for deer?

    According to Hornady they "softened" them up some ...but the results according to many accounts is the bullets are still "harder" than the TTSX in .243 caliber.... the TTSX are pure copper ...the GMX/CX is gilding alloy...
