Speer Bullets thread

[T-Stick]

I have not been able to get acceptable accuracy with the 172 and 190 grain bullets in my 300 Win mag so I have not used them on any game. I may try the 7mm bullets when they are available.

Any on game experiences with the impact bullets yet?

No, but im working on a few loads for hunting in the near future.

The 190 and 172 shoot to about 1" groups out of my x-bolt 30-06 with Staball 6.5, and I might take the 172s elk hunting this fall. 172s have a good mix of BC and 2720fps from my short 18" barrel.

I also have 140s to work up for my tikka 6.5 CM, but the BC is well below 143 Bondstrikes which shoot very well, so i may reserve the Impacts for shorter range hunting. Should be around 2660 fps out of my 19" barrel with H4350.

I could not get 10 shot groups under 1.5" with the 190s out of my 300 wsm tikka with h4831sc or H4350. 4831SC was good enough for minute of moose, but I couldn't find the right bull.

Frontline Rejects has a good video showing expansion at various ranges in water jugs. Not as representative as FBI gel blocks, but at least the testing shows substantial expansion of the Impacts relative to other bonded bullets. Source: YouTube https://share.google/llxLFXKz5mhlxBGnu
