Good to know. Thanks Bob.

Good day sir. As Bob said, I'm getting great results with the North Fork bullets. Sad to say though, in my rifle the Hawk 35 caliber 225grn pills have been not so stirling. Having been a bandleader for 60+ years I've tried a lot of variations to get these bullets to shoot. Finally hit on a load that works accuracy wise but velocity is down slightly. That works also as I've always chased accuracy over velocity within reason. With North Fork's and Barnes TSX's my barrel shoots pretty clean but the Hawk's (again in my barrel) copper fowl something fierce. They seem to be a good bullet but with the results I've gotten from the North Fork 200 and 225grn bullets, these are now my go to bullet for my 358 Winchester. Bottom line, it's what works for you in your rifle. Just my take on things. Good day and happy reloading.

@radname.
Are you insinuating ice got an empty heed. I'll have you know there's something between my ears. The last time I got my hearing checked they found a for lease sign in the gap between my ears. If the move the light a little they also lit up the eye chart on the wall on the other side of my head

Very funny Bob, but no not at all. I was saying Im probably a little lite in the brains department because I prefer recoil to muzzle blast. Like dad used to say " If your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough" haha

Thank you Rick that is good information. I was wondering if the "soft copper" jackets on Hawk bullets might result in more fouling. Does hawk publish load data for their bullets? I didn't see anything on their website. Thanks.

LOL, sounds good Bob. Good news for here in the states. Got an email and seems Raven Rock may be picking up Woodleigh bullets to sell here! Fingers crossed.
