I have a box of Federal Premium 225 bonded bear claw and I want to compare it to another round without buying a box. I would like to make an equal trade for few rounds of a smaller grain. If interested please pm or call 601-317-0657. Madison area.

Richard how do you like the Federal Premium bullets i'm going to use them this year I havent had a chance to shoot them yet just wondering. I shot Hornady 200gr. last year and they did fine just thought I would try them because I shoot Federal Premium in my other guns.

Thanks Todd

Its a new gun and im going to sight it in this weekend. Im wanting to try a few different rounds out of the gun. Ill let you know how the 225 does.

Thanks I'm doing the same I had a guy tell me last year the Federal shells were the best he had found but every gun is different we'll see.

I was shooting the 200 from Remington when I had mine.. That 25 grains helps take a little kick out of the mule..

I shot the 200 hornady last year and its devastating. Going to shoot barnes 180 at a couple this year. I am very comfortable out to 300yds shooting my barnes setup.

So grain increases, recoil decreases? Grain decreases, range increases? Correct?

I am by no means a gun expert and my gun has a break on it so recoil is not an issue on my encore. However, the Barnes 180 are traveling 2900 fps @ the muzzle with -8 of drop at 300 yards. The Hornady's are traveling 2850 with -9 at 300 yards. Not much of a difference, but I just like trying new rounds to see what it does to big game.

The lighter the bullet the lighter the recoil and the farther it will fly..

Thanks, who sells the Barnes 180 around the jackson area?

I picked up my box at surplus city but they are going out of business so I am unsure if they still have any.
I am sure that Vans would have some.
