After talking with a friend today about bullets for the cartridge rifles such as weight,length,design,etc,I feel the need to ask...He claims there is nothing better than the old 500 grain bullet in all the 45 cals. such as the 70-90-110,etc....
Is he right? Hell,I never tried any other bullets..So will a lighter and shorther bullet work just as good hunting or target shooting? I told him I was going to post the question here for all you guys who have other ideas or opinions,and maybe get some comments on the smaller bullets..
As to why you use them or why you don't use them...I know there is a lot said about the twist rate and bullet to match the twist..I have heard some say this is not that much of an issue...Like I said,I have never tried any other bullet but the Lyman
457125--you know the big round nose one....So please share some of your thoughts on this and I will pass it on to him....Now i'm curious myself....John:coffee:
