2100 fps. Wow. Well, they have to make it for a huge variety of guns instead of a reloaded who SHOULD work up to that.

Don't know if I agree with needing a 125 version as there are 110 and 120 Barnes. Yeah, more selection but the 150 offers something else from the Barnes. At the muzzle, the Barnes has more muzzle energy but thats not the whole story. I bet the 150s retain that energy further, drift less in the wind ...

Just came across this. Well crap, I'm on my phone and can't post a picture right now. Anyway, Midwayusa.com has it for $25/20 but listed as coming soon.Yes I handload. Yes its cheaper to reload. But I just really like having a stash of factory ammo on hand. Makes me all warm and fuzzy. After seeing ...

NB, got it. I probably could have figured that out when looking at the ogive but as stated, white belt Google fu and I hadn't seen pics of the bullets side by side. In those pics, even without the BT, its obvious that's not the 150 GD...at least the 300 AAC one as Speer makes a 308 GD ammo with 150 ...

So what did you guys settle on for A1680? Obviously I'll be starting a few grains less and work up.

I've got weak Google fu and found lots of videos and this from Federal.

Any updates on this bullet? More load confirmation? More hunting kills? Dellet, you're using A1680 for your load, is that right? We can go to PM if you don't want to put it here. Lastly, does anyone know if the Federal Fusion 150 grain uses this 150 GD bullet? Looks similar and Federal loads several...

Actually, I'll read the whole 150 GD thread and then send a PM with questions.

I have not tried any of the newer HTP so really have no idea. The Speer 150 in my 12.5” bolt action is 2180 fps and about 3/4” at 200 yards. I would probably trust it to 250-300 yards hunting. Past that I would want to shoot a bunch more at 1500 fps to see how they perform and verify drops. 300 yar...

I thought about the 150 Speer Gold Dot but it needs a 16" barrel to provide the velocity just to expand at 200 yards. Not that I envision actualnling range shooting but uve only got a 14.7" barrel. The 120 TacTX and 130 TSX both expand at lower velocities which will be great for my barrel and the 12...
