yeah besides the cannular being different the profiles LOOK like fusions, so that's kinda what I assumed they were.I don't know what they are that was just a guess. (the .223s at the same time were Fusions)
All I really know is a bonded something.
Did you by chance ever get to use one on game and see how it performed?
I did a basic load work up, but haven't shot them at anything. I actually don't use my 7 as much as I used to, my .375s kinds become my go to, if I'm not shooting one of my small guns.
I think you'll be fine with the Speer 160s, they arnt super pointy, and generally I've found Speer bullets to be quite accurate.I just ordered 200 Speer #1634 BTSP. The tip profile looks correct for the bearing surface to be properly located in the neck of the case with the OAL of the short action. Speer also has published load data for 284 win with this bullet on their site. These two thing make me feel confident I'm not spending the money on too long a bullet that wont work for me. The Speer BTSP are my go to hunting bullet in 30-06. They are cheap and shoot good. Between this and what Loonwulf is sending I will have plenty to start with. I would rather start with the affordable bullet just to get shooting, I have to fund building the rifle right now too, so expensive bullets can wait till i have the gun running. And if the cheap bullets shoot good then thats icing on the cake, no need to go spend more money with 200 on the shelf!
Thanks guys
