garyw Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Gaz. Can your pal get hold of any Todd Kindler bullets. Would love to try them. ATB Al HI ALAN-i have asked him at least 3 times but i get the same answer-NO!i think my mate has had issues with TK. and refuses to spend his $$ with him.from what i know they are [TK. GOLDS.] giving a high B.C. better than bergers/hornady.the gopher/ground hog shooters prefer the cheaper stuff to shoot volume.the coyote men seem to like the GOLDS for longer shots and to make sure the quarry is killed humanely. viewed your latest video-good as always keep it up.

TonyH Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 ....the gopher/ground hog shooters prefer the cheaper stuff to shoot volume... Gophers, ground squirrels, often hunted with rimfire and moderately large quantities of ammo. Groundhogs (aka woodchucks) don't represent "volume" hunting: most I ever shot in one day was 22 which was pretty good, especially compared with many parts of the USA where half a dozen would be regarded as an excellent day's bag. Long shots at 'hogs deserve the best bullets you can buy. By "volume" you're thinking of prairie dogs on the Midwest plains, where some guys might get through 400-500 rounds in a day... Barrel life gets a bit critical. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest richness Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I reckon the BT ones will be lovely consistent bullets. I await the BC figures keenly. Any news on a 25 and '30gr version? A 30gr bt with a .25bc would do nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
