    I'd get the Nosler ballisDIK tip rounds! But you knew I'd say that.

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The closer we adhere to the Holy Bible and the US Constitution (as it was written) the closer we get to the model that made America great. The great American experiment worked, human nature just got in the way.

    I shoot 125 grains in my .284 for whitetail, if you're going to hand load I'd try 139 grain nosler partitions. One other crazy thing I've run into with my 7mag is that it shoots Winchester ammo WAY better than any other factory loads. So, if you're having trouble holding a group try switching brands before you get frustrated with the rifle. Enjoy the new toy!

    I have been reloading 160-165gr pointed, soft point, boat tail noslers with IMR 4350 powder (55 gr) for about 10 years now. They shoot really really well for me. I tried 120gr one year, but the bullet exploded before exiting the deer. Took a shot to the vitals and the neck to kill it. I never used those again.

    my load keeps me sighted in at a half inch high at 50 yards, and is never more than 1.5 inches above or below, out to over 200yds, 6 inches at 250yds. It is a very flat shooting setup.

    "A Homewood man led police on an hourlong car chase that ended with a crash injuring three officers.

    "The car was driving itself," Wright said. "The car has a GPS. It's a Lincoln Navigator. They drive themselves. I wasn't running nowhere."
