Thats how I see it. I only use 140 slippery ones. Been using the calibre for 30 years.
Played with 120, but saw no benefit.

Had some great success on sunday using my new micrometre insert in my dies. My suppressor was loose when I went to pack up ( that would explain why my groups started circling the POI slightly.
GODDAM THAT FLIER
Main rookie mistake for the day - not checking that my brass still chambers before loading it up. I'd full length sized it but the shoulders had got a bit munted on 5 of my rounds. Oh well, I'll pull the projectiles and save the powder. Brass is past 7 cycles so i might just flick them

Nice shooting DIB!;)
I chose to go with the 123's (sst's) just for the fact I could get good velocity and hence a pretty flat trajectory, without pushing into the upper pressure zones. (wanted to give myself a bit of leeway for newbie errors).
Havnt tested em on dear, but they work pretty spetacular on goats.
Will have a play with some of the heavier end of the spectrum at some point but for now I have and accurate reasonably flat shooting load that makes things dead.
Tossing up loading some 130's for bush stuff, but we will see
Cheers man - i was quite surprised that they grouped like that. Just as likely to wobble on as to wobble off. I was shooting off my bipod and rear bag and i was a bit frustrated that the crosshairs just wouldn't go still.
I'm sold on the bergers 140gn at the moment. Pricey but noticeably better IMO.
