    Conical Terminal Performance Research

    The TC maxi 350 and Hornaday 385 are both excellent bullets that will perform well for you. Grandson uses 70gr in his 50 and it is devastating on large deer. 70-80 gr powder is a good accuracy range. I'm partial to TC but Hornaday, with the hollow point, might have a slightly larger exit hole.

    No Excuse bullets

    I bought a couple hundred 430 T/C Maxi from Dixie. They seem to shoot the same as the original. Will give them a better workout this week. I shoot the same powder load.

    No Excuse bullets

    My concern is keeping things simple with minimal concerns for consistency in adverse hunting conditions. I will probably use up what NE bullets I have in the Investarms and the 430 TC maxi in my others. Thanks for the suggestions.

    No Excuse bullets

    I shoot a .54 Lyman GP hunter and after hearing good things about the NE bullets I decided to try them. I called him and was advised he made two sizes in .54: .541 and the slightly larger .542. I ordered a box of .541 and he threw in a few .542 to try. I went to load the .542 and when I released...

    Grandson's first BP Buck

    He and I were sitting in an ambush spot I had cut out years ago. Spot is only a quarter mile from where I shot my buck two days previously. Just at dark, he said "I see a buck scraping, here he comes." There was eight inches of snow where we hunt so the buck stood out pretty good even in the...

    Made some smoke 2021

    Haven't posted much last year or so what with the covid and all. Only thing keeping me sane is the hunting and snooping around in the mountains. Thought I would share a pic of my latest outing. Taking my grandson out tomorrow since there is no school and 8" of fresh snow. Bucks are running...
