661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[svk]

Three shows: oil thread, reloading, and hunting. Might be four by the end of the day.

We haven't had a splitting axe argument on this site for months.... And I'm sure if we brought a few folks from F & L in here they could tell you how stupid it is to worry about oil differences. LOL

I haven't worked out a load I really like yet. The whole state will be no-lead in (IIRC) 2020, or maybe 2018. That gets expensive!

Won't affect me, I've been loading depleted uranium for years. The only thing that will stop one of those is a 362 C-M!

Nosler are pretty much are the gold standard of bullets. Not bad for a product that came to Market in 1948!

I can't take it anymore, all the bs about bullets! Nosler partitions are fair at best. I have recovered several nosler partitions with the front half missing, in everything from o6 to 338. It was a good bullet when the first came out, butt the modern bonded billers are far superior. Barnes billets are like shooting full metal jackets. Good in Africa not here.

That was really cool. I've seen blacksmith shop displays but this is a whole different level.

The front lead will shed especially when fired from magnum calibers. Since you are inspecting bullets I'll assume it killed the quarry

The ones I found yes, partitions poke holes 50 pertcent of the time. I have had animals go 300 yards with a good shot and no signs of being hit. I sropes using them 30 years ago

Checked out neeman's website. Impressive lineup. His splitting axe head has a familiar looking shape, very similar to Fiskars and Helko Vario.

I completely dismantled the heart and lungs of a whitetail buck with very hot loads from a 300 win mag and he ran almost 300 yards. Every deer I've ever shot with a 7mm-08 dropped in its tracks. Go figure. As long as you place the shot a good bullet won't let you down.

Use a good bonded bullet, and they won't go 300 yards

Trust me, wouldn't have made a difference.

Oil talk will be back, don't worry.

I live in the condor zone in Collyfornia so we can't use any lead. My 30-06 Rem 700 SS mountain rifle was tuned perfectly with Nosler Partition 165gr but now I use a Barnes 168gr. I haven't worked out a load I really like yet. The whole state will be no-lead in (IIRC) 2020, or maybe 2018. That gets expensive!

JHC, California gets more ridiculous every day I am gone. Steel shot sucks. I have to use it at some target ranges here. Not enough mass, similar to copper rounds. Ammo is spendy in any size or type now. Also .22 and other common ammo is nearly impossible to get in any volume.
