Thread: Bullets I make

Hi Gen

Hi Gents,
Finaly got away this last weekend for bit of a wander with another forum member after a few goats/deer using the new projectiles from Xring.
I wieghed them & found they were 52 gns so loaded accordingly. ( reloading details up the page)
I started by sighting in & found them to be reasonably tight out of the 223 Rem ADL with them printing 1/2 inch @ 50yds.
We arrived @ our destination within 30yds of a mob of 9 goats & I managed to plant one of these projectiles high into the shoulder of a young one which poleaxed it on the spot.We did a bit of an autopsy & found both lungs & part of the liver were smashed & the exit wound was about 30mm so one can understand the reason it dropped so quickly.
When we go out again with the 223 & bowl a LARGE billy or deer I'll do let you all know ( with photos) showing what the results are --I hope.
The number we shot all up were 7 (took the meat) & we also saw approx 15 others & 2 mature red hinds & 2 yearlings with them.,--get them next time.
Because I'm on dialup I can't post pictures but my hunting buddy will do so asap as an addition to this writeup.
Thanks Xring for the projectiles & a great result using them.

Gore warning on the last photo, but its purely for educational purposes........

Little bit of jacket shed.

Sorry guys, the lower right shot was due to me pulling it & not the fault of the projectiles.

Hi guys, back from a long holiday. I am now making flat base bullets from 50 to 55 grains. Got all correct punches for it. I just need to get rid of my jacket stock, around 3500 of them, and whatever
weight or profile (BT or FB) you choose I will sell them for $35 / 100 including shipping. What do you guys think? If interested, I just need some time to swage them.
Cheers

Hamsav, soon I will make the 69's but in 224, so sorry about that. Rifht now, I think Hornady makes them. Correct if I am wrong. Cheers

Hi xring
Are you planning on making 224 projectiles in the future or are you using the stock you have and trying others?

Hi Dave,
Both of them. I have at home some 500 HPBT 52 grains but whatever weight from 50 to 55 either BT or FB I can make on order.
Cheers
