Thread: Polycarbonite Tipped Bullets

180 gr. core lox in 30.06.Usually hunt the thick stuff and don't get too many wide open shots.

The bonded cores like the Accubond will do a good job of expanding up close. But I still like the Remingtons.. I like a big hole going in, and a bigger one coming out. Can't track and find one without the blood trail. Most times it will be a bang flop. I hate to lose one, just makes me sick.

That's exactly what I shoot in my 270. The Federal Premium with the Sierra BTSP. My gun really shoots them well.

If I continue using the 270 WSM where I'm hunting now, I'll be using a heavier round nose bullet. The 130 grain polymer bullet is designed for long range accuracy instead of short range bullet expansion.

Did you find the deer?

NEVER MIND. I hate it for ya.

Yea, he had gone about 100 yards in a pine thicket. My buddy and I had walked all over him last night without seeing him. He wasn't dropping blood so tracking him was not an option. It wasn't cold enough last night so I just left him laying there.

CORELOCKS/ POWERPOINTS FOR NORMAL RANGE . PLENTY BAD . JMO .
