I loaded 50 rounds of 110gr Barnes TTSX for a dude who uses them up at Tuai in his 270. Still slowly getting thru them as he says they are so brutal on deer never has had to use more than 1 each time.

As above NF/Ballistic Studies kit is very good. I’ve only used it on two rifles, Ruger M77 and Howa Mini. Both have turned out great and in both cases reduced grouping size, particularly the Mini...

Fellas, I didn’t really intend for this to be a “look at this long-range thousand yard deer bullet” kind of thing. I’m not really into shooting deer that far out, but by all means debate it if...
