One must be for bad guys and the other for targets. *sarcasm*
That is what I thought jokingly in my head but if someone had cut one open and seen an actual difference I’d like to know before I injure an animal and have to walk all night
It must be available in virtual reality as well… forgot to mention that
Well, it looks like the DOJ read the WHOLE thread, so kudos to them
You should, it’s the most informative material I’ve read on the internet period. If you can’t let go of traditional stigmas, it probably won’t matter, but if you are capable of reading with an open mind, your opinions will shift at least some.
I have 98% certainty it's the same bullet, but someone more qualified than me would need to confirm it. It's not uncommon for a bullet manufacturer to change the tip color, i.e. Fiocchi has blue tip Vmax bullets. I'd have no qualms using that ammo to hunt with.
How do you like the Jefferson bottom metal? I am thinking about ordering it today for my 223. I am getting 1.25 MOA consistently with Fiocchi 77 Factory and have some decent loads with 8208 and Tmks.....but they start to spray past 23 grains.
Form stated earlier in thread that blue tips are exact same as green tips. Also, they are much more expensive but you can find that Federal ammo on GunBroker.
Yeah, hard thread to keep totally up with and I missed it. No worries I’ll get some eventually
Looks great, excellent machining and finish. I have not used it enough to speak to consistency of operation.
The 64gr Win PP worked well for me at short distances. I expect this newer version would expand better so extend the effective range.
That’s kinda what I was hoping, I’ll look up that video. Most of my shots are sub 100 yards so I’m not very concerned at distance out of the short barrel
Watched a buddy use these on two antelope does last year. Both shots around 200 yards out of a 22” barrel, so should have had plenty of velocity. Both were solid shots tight behind front leg, and both took a long time to die and required a finishing headshot after we walked up on them in the sage. Should have done a necropsy to see exactly what damage was done, but pretty disappointed in the XP. I think we will both be finding something else to use in our .223s this year.
maybe I’ll stay with the ELD M for now then. I just got my mini setup so time to see what it likes!
