My point here is pushing these bullets too fast and the results are less than satisfactory when smashing into bone. Over 2850 I start using a bonded bullet. I mainly shoot 25-06, .270 and 7mm-08 and depending on the loads you are using you could cross this FPS threshhold. These are highly accurate bullets if the velocity is controlled. |
This makes sense, and sounds like a good approach to me.
