Good thing I didn't include 150gr FP Barnes or 165 Gr Sierra Tipped! Would have thrown everyone off lol

Good thing I didn’t try. I would have failed miserably! I only use two of those out of maybe 8-10 30 cal Bullets I load.

 

[Edge]

I was shocked how many different 30 cal options were on the shelf! Was thinking of just posting a shot of the Peregrines vs a couple of bullets until I pulled down all the 30 cal options.

Thought it would be interesting to post,

I would've failed on the Speers and Hornady FMJ for sure and also no clue on the Barnes X. The others I was on.

 

[CAustin]

I knew that I couldn’t do it even guessing!

Where’s the accubond?

 

[Pheroze]

I was just amazed how many 30 cal bullets you had!

 

[Edge]

Accubond....have some in 140 gr 260 and 270 but no 30 cal.

Same profile as the 30 cal 165gr Ballistic Tip!

 

[Ray B]

At first glance, I see missing are: WW Fail-Safe Power Point & SilverTip, Speer Grand Slam, Bitterroot BC, Hornady BTSP, Barnes X and a few more if I were to think about it for a minute.

 

[Longwalker]

I would have got about half, but would not use the ones I didn't guess anyway.

Interestingly your Sierra Gameking projectile looks different from the one in Federal factory load which has a cannelure. Pictured below, also 165gr.

I believe the factory rolls a cannelure, position dependent upon seating depth for different cartridges of same caliber.

Didn’t know Barnes made 30 cal 130 gr TTSX. I have 165 and 180 ttsx in 30 cal but my 130 gr are cal 270 ? Thanks
