    @shooternz do you know of many people using your 151 on reds and pigs? I currently load some 160gr Peregrine/Discreet ballistics copper bullets (same concept as the lehigh ones) as subs but be good to use some of your bullets especially under 100 yards but always concerned they wont penetrate enough for a big red or pig. I also currently use your 151's on goats and it works great.

    I get great accuracy with the Peregrine/Discreet Ballistic bullets out to about 200 yards and they sure are deadly, but i only have a very limited supply which i only get to restock once a year when i go on holiday so would prefer a local bullet for the majority of shooting.

    One thing with the 151's, they dont feed in my magazine, i have to single feed. Is this common or do i just have a shit rifle?

    FYI, my drop for the 160gr copper bullets at 1050fps 2mills at 100m and 8 mills at 200m with a 50m zero if that of any use to anyone. the Mill reticle in the ATN sure is handy for this, as the internal ballistic calculator is junk, so i work it out on Applied Ballistics and then just holdover.

    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    The 151g cast don’t feed well in my A7 either I just single load.the 170g pointed non hollow point version do but don’t expand very much at sub speeds.
