yeah...you snatched one of those...looks like my work
I’ve never had success getting accuracy with Barnes bullets. I decided to try one more time. This is the .284 120gr. TTSX in my 7mm-08 Remington LVSF.
Rl15 on left at about .480 and CFE 223 at .380 for 3 shots.View attachment 1038183
I haven’t run them over a chrono yet, but since they shoot I’ll do it now. It’s only a 20” barrel so I’m guessing around 2850.Encouraging. Gotta be glad you gave 'em anther chance.
How was the velocity on those ?
Yes, I shot an IDPA match in Tallapoosa today. It was pretty dang hot and humid.
Canik TPDSFX show great I did not. 19 out of 35 but heck I am old and fat!
Took my new Tikka T3X Hunter in .260 Rem out to the range today with handloads to see what it will do.
Its a keeper!

1st shot was a fouling shot with cold clean bore, next three grouped nicely.

2nd load was 130gr Sierra GK hpbt.
Same deal. One fouling shot and 3 in a ragged hole.

Took a silhouette target out in the yard and shot 23 rounds through the 1911. Mainly looking for an excuse to clean it, lol. I love cleaning guns, even more fun than making fishing rods.
Shot at 50 rounds of 5 stand clays, hit about 7-8 maybe, may try a different choke. I am not a gun enthusiast and only shoot a few times a year. May start shooting more, it was embarrassing today.
are you crazy? even if you can find ammo the prices are crazy! i'm hording what i have for the Big Igloo. that's when you'll need every round you can get your hands on !Y’all are brave to go out shooting. It’s getting to be about the most expensive thing to do.
I went and shot some 38s and 357s from the stash and looked in the ammo can.... looked a little low. No problem, I thought. Time to go buy another case.
WRONG. I can hardly find anything in 38 or 357 that isn’t nearly a dollar a round. Ludicrous
@sbroadwell if you get steel targets made by a reputable company, you don’t have to worry about ricochets as long as you set them up the way they are designed to be. Once you get within 10 yards, you will get little chunks of jacket that sometimes fling back at you, especially with rifle rounds (No manufacturers recommend shooting steel with rifles at 10 yards). I’ve had some little superficial cuts from shooting from maybe 5 yards but as long as you wear eye protection, you’ll be fine.
None of what I’ve said applies to a situation where you are shooting pots and pans and misc metal garbage. Then it’s anyone’s guess what the projectile will do.
