@Dudders I cannot say. I can say that my children used the .243 with 80gr Barnes TTSX to kill many of America’s largest deer with instant effect. Extremely impressed by what that bullet can do.

I would like to try the Barnes ttsx have heard positive things about them but my local gunsmiths can not get hold of any yet
Thanks for the reply (y)
 
Been using North Fork bore rider design bullets since they went into production years ago. Still use the .411 and .458 bullets and never needed to drive them at very high velocities; 2250 in .405 WCF and 2100 in .458.
Performed very well in both calibers and in DR of both calibers.
Bore rider bullets need less propulsion and do not copper-up barrels.

I have had trouble telling the difference in performance between Barnes, GMX, Trophy copper ect. They all do what I expect a copper to do.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
