Crusty Grunt from United States, TN Public Profile

Federal Fusion 338 Federal is awesome and puts a thumping on game.

This is the 3rd Vortex Diamondback Rifle Scope that I have purchased. They work and track excellent.

These are not the same “Ballistic Silver Tip” ammo available in previous years. They do not have the Black Lubalox coated bullets that I have been shooting since 2005. Optics Planet still shows them with the Lubalox coating in their description. Winchester still shows the black coated bullet in their images but removed the words Lubalox from their description. I purchased 3 boxes Nov 2024 believing they would be the same as in the past. Prior to purchasing them I saw that Nosler stills offers the loose Ballistic Silver Tip bullets (I just received an order directly from Nosler and will reload them once I figure out a recipe). You can’t return Ammo so I’m out the ~ $150 for a product I wouldn’t have purchased if Optics Planet’s description was accurate. I contacted Winchester and they say that the Lubalox coated bullets are no longer available from Nosler. I sent them photos of the boxes of loose bullets that I just received from Nosler and my receipt. After that I have heard nothing from Winchester. Hopefully these will also shoot good. I just thought I would inform those who love these bullets like I do. I have been shooting them In my Model 7 in 7mm-08 since 2005.

This is a nice tool. It is very ergonomic and simple to swap out tools. I wish it would have came with a case to keep all the parts in. Other than that minor observation which I rectified with a small parts box I’m super happy with my purchase.

This is a fantastic Case Trimmer. Just be advised you need to use Hornady Brand Shell Holders. Not a problem as I just order What I needed and will use them just for the case trimmer as I have shell holders will all my die sets.
