Thanx for the Help, just a little FYI, about my decision
« on: August 19, 2004, 04:25:58 PM »
Thanx for all the responses I have gotten concerning my bullet selection.  I want to squeeze every last FPS out of the gun, and I am going to shoot the Hornady Light Magnum Interbonds in either 150 grain or 165 grain. I was just comparing the ballistics info (provided by Hornady since I do not have a chrony, its the best I can do) and there really isnt that much of a difference b/t the 165 and 150, the 165 has a lil more "kick" (FOOT POUNDS ENERGY), but really doesn't have much more drop than the 150 grains.  And I think I will shoot the 165 also, because at that high velocity, it should be able to hold up better than the 150s when hitting bone.  I haven't mounted my new scope either, b/c the gun shop didnt have any Burris rings remaining.  I should be able to go out and sight in my gun in the next week or two, it just depends, but I will respond as soon as I do.  But i just wanted to say how much help this forum has been to me, and that I greatly appreciate all of your opinions.  And I do realize that if these Hornady's dont shoot well, I will find another bullet ( thats one thing this forum taught me).  I am thinking about the Winchester Supreme Accubond CT in 180 grain (kinda big for deer, but its the only size AccuBond Nosler makes).......thanx again, and if ne1 has some last comments before I buy the ammo and sight in it would be appreciated..........thanx for the HELP!!!!!! (SRY THIS IS SO LONG)
Good Hunting and Straight Shooting
