Albright,
Where in the Willamette valley did you grow up in? I was hatched and raised in Pleasant Hill.

While I disagree with B's assessment of whose snipers are applying the various calibers he listed, the idea is still there. You will need the 39gr BK's High B.C. to get those P-dogs at 600 in even on the calmest day. The 50gr Berger has a higher B.C. but the 204 can't push it fast enough to get expa...

I really like the 39's. I have hit chucks with the 39 BK and the 32 vmax and I think the BK does a lot more damage. I have some 40gr Bergers and these ballistic tips to try on them soon. Going to hunt down on Letterkenney soon. I think the Nosler brass was a big help in getting those small groups. A...

Holy Cow, them little pills are fast. I am getting about .27 inch groups for five shots with a stiff shot of 10x. Moly coated the little buggers and put them on top of some new Nosler brass. Love em. Gonna shoot them at 300 next week and try them on some whistle pigs.

Yeah I have to work this weekend so I don't know if I will get a chance to hunt at all or not. I am putting a Sharpshooter Supply trigger on my gun and a different scope as soon as the trigger comes in so at least I will have something to keep me busy.

Cool,
Good to here from you again, maybe you canget out there and bust some jacks yourself too.
Those 17's look sexy, I also polish up the brass before I anneal it so I can see the color change better.
Take Care

32 gr. Nosler BT ?

Has anyone loaded for this thing yet? I am wondering how it shoots considering it is the only 32 gr boattail out there. I thought it might nip at the heels of the 40's given the extra speed versus BC
Thanks!

I got two on the 28th of Nov. out in eastern Oregon. One was a head shot at about 200 (which is what I am zeroed at) cuz I think he spotted me and was lookin right at me about to bolt. The other was broad side at about 120. First one was with a 40gr. Berger, 2nd one was a 39gr. BK Flattened'em both.
