    Tumbling Solid bullets?

    This is the same point I outlined in the link; if the bullets aren't tumbling, then how are they causing so much impressive damage?

    Tumbling Solid bullets?

    That seems like your making Taylor's point, if you can't prove that bullets tumble, then you cannot prove that they don't either. There are countless videos of stabilized bullets hitting ballistic targets and they are clearly tumbling. If you don't accept that because its not flesh and bone, how...

    Tumbling Solid bullets?

    Excellent point. I think finding a bullet backwards (boat-tail forward and opened meplat to the rear of direction of travel) in an animal is more than enough evidence to show that at least some bullets, tumble sometimes.

    That is my assumption as well, I wrote up my thoughts about it here.

    I totally forgot to put this picture up here, but I managed to smoke a decent pronghorn antelope buck here in Utah with my SRS M2 and ES Tactical 6GT barrel. If you need some bathroom reading material you can read the whole thing here

    25 Creedmoor

    +1 for the Alpha guys being outstanding, I've been using their brass and reamers for a bit now. I think i still have the first box of 25CM headstamped brass. As far as the bushing, I use a .281, and I kind wish i had a .282.

    You may want to move that scope up a ways, and straighten your cheek rest ;)

    25 Creedmoor

    That was the number they advertised, but Miles openly told me that the number was overly conservative.

    25 Creedmoor

    ^This. I always used .340 and was DFN on everything out to around a mile. Reliable enough to put a cold bore impact on a mule deer at just over 1100 yds and put him right down. Velocity was always great even from my 22" Xcaliber, I was always 2900+ with no pressure signs and .5 and typically...

    25 Creedmoor

    It was literally the best bullet ever made for 25 IMO

    25 Creedmoor

    Dont have my book in front of me, but IIRC the 131 load was around 42 and the 134 was like 40.8 or something.

    25 Creedmoor

    They shoot fantastic, I'm still loading them with H4350. I was a little let down that they aren't as fast as my 131's tho. The 131's were over 2900 with no pressure signs, but these 134's at 2850 are getting close to too much pressure. At least with this powder.

    Tumbling Solid bullets?

    Obviously both yours and my experience are somewhat anecdotal, but something to evaluate for sure. Thanks for your input!

    Tumbling Solid bullets?

    For sure that is the case, I sorta outlined that in the post. I was more thinking of performance outside of that objective truth.

    Tumbling Solid bullets?

    A lot of you guys may have seen my thread about my recent pronghorn antelope hunt, after recovering the bullet I was left with some questions. I'm hoping to appeal to those with some good opinions to discuss the topic with. I have put a lot of my thoughts down here...

    Pronghorn Hunt Complete...

    I normally am hunting for meat yes. I prefer not pummeling the shoulder, but when the shot clock is counting down I failsafe toward the biggest target zone. Especially on a limited entry tag that took six years to draw.
