Hi Marshall,
Need to order some bullets and have some questions for you.
.30-06 - haven't used cast bullets in this gun yet (Win M70). Would like to have something just for plinking. So looking at your selection in .30 cal, seems to me that the 140 might be a good choice, since it has a short nose and looks like the case neck would cover up the grease grooves. Or would you go the opposite direction, say the heavy 173? Let me know what you recommend.
.357 - have had some fun with this cartridge using your 185 FNGC, (2" groups at 50 yards with Blackhawk) but am curious about the 200 gr +P. The 200 looks like it has two crimp grooves. Does this bullet offer any real advantage over the 185? I'm curious about how much velocity I'd loose over the 185 (WW296). I hunt hogs so am always on the lookout for something with more thump.
Already know what I want in .44, .45 so no questions there.
Let me know, if you could, so I can order some stuff.
thanks,
