triple shocks are spendy but the 257 and smaller triple shocks dont cost near as much as the bigger ones. ive loaded some and have them tucked away for big game. theyre kinda my special bullets for special acasions, like takn large game with small calibers. it turns my small stuff into rip snortin bone busting penetration big game hammers.

ive used 100gr corelockts in my 2506 with varmit like bullet characteristics. kinda scared me. they are good bullets atr 2800 not 3200.

barnes makes 62 and 70gr 224 tripleshocks, these bullets would drive lenghtwise through most any deer sized game if you wanted them to. fling them from your 22/6mm barrel and your realy smokn, that would be one of heck of a deer rig.

Try the 95gr Winchester Supreme Elite XP3. Long name but amazing results! I got whitetail last year 60yds running, but I hit him too far back. He was runnin towards me but he stumbled as I pulled the trigger, at the shot he turned straight away and ran. I put another one up his you-know-where and he dropped right there. The bullet went all the way from his rear to his lungs and exited the shoulder. Now thats performance! Also 5 shots at 100yds .85in. However these bullets are not easy on the wallet, sight in with Winchester 100gr Power Points and fine tune with XP3s. You'll be eating pork soon.

Barnes X bullets

I have bought some Barnes X bullets in various calibers at estate auctions and yard sales. The darn things shoot pretty good. I had a friend use one of my 300 Savage loads with 130 gr X bullets shoot a cow elk at a little over 150 yds in the chest. In the front and on out the rear..and not very much meat damage.. It was DRT. I have some I'm going to load for the 257 Weatherby I bought. Hope they shoot as well as the Noslers I've got. My plumber friend shot his 'lope the other day with my Weatherby at about 225 yds. He stated it didn't even quiver after the shot. Now he wants to buy it..Nah...Think I'll keep it.. Have worked up a load for the 300 H&H with some heavier X bullets. Let ya know how they do..
