Ammunition choice

[Carol308]

Shot placement critical - understood
Getting similar accuracy out of both
Would your choice be 150gr Barnes TTSX or 180gr Swift A-Frame
BWB and Eland
Bushveld

If you have already acquired both then either would do. If you are still deciding then the price would tell me to use the Barnes.

Which calibre?

Barnes. If you develop loads for the Barnes you wil end up with very nice all round ammo for other applications. If I remember your 308 is the Winchester and not the caliber. By using Barnes you will have something for lighter game and longer distances.

Barnes is better

Carol I wil also go for Barnes ! A frame is good but far to expensive but you can also look at Rhino bullets better than A frame I think much cheaper and it is local made!

That rather impressive I assume it is your recovered bullet? Did it hit any bone at all?

No, it is one I downloaded from the forum. Think it was Gerhard who showed it in a thread. Here is one I killed a BWB with. The target is of 130gr TTSX - 4 shots in the group still doing load development. Now you see why they say that about Barnes - djy wiet mos.

Eish, not to hijack the thread but it makes for a convincing argument. Off hunting in late June, I feel some mono load development coming on. Will PM you before I buy.
