[QUOTE="TAFKAP, post: 4245558, member: 7776"] My observations aren't overly heavy in excessive shooting experience. I'm coming out of a .30-30 that would flat out chew through 160gr Cor-Lokts like nobody's business, and that's the rifle I've about pounded through my shoulder. The day I sighted in 130gr Lever Revolutions, they were all over the page and 1" high. Fast forward to now, the first (2) boxes of .300BLK I shot were 110gr Barnes VOR-TX, and they weren't very consistent. Granted, it could easily be me and my MILSPEC 400lb trigger.......but I got much better consistency out of the Hog Hammer stuff. The Hog Hammer knocked down a doe in her tracks from 175 yards. As for the "Try it and See" method, I'm way new to this and not experienced enough to really mess with it. I'm trying to reload so that I can better afford the ability to develop a more intuitive feel for ammo loads and performance. At $30/box of difficult to find rounds, I need a more economic practice method. [/QUOTE]
