Barrel Nut Rem Smokeless

@HV-Muzzleloaders Thanks for the info. I'd like to get some 275gr Parkers, but they are out of stock. I may just get some of the 250gr (the XTP's that I have coming are 250gr also).

I already have some Redding/Imperial wax on hand, so I'll try that. Do folks typically use wax/lube on the Parker bullets as well?

I use paste lube when sizing all bullets.

Did you try to get the bullets directly from Parker?

Oh....I'm sorry, I was looking at Pittman bullets.

Looks like the Pittman's and Parker's are pretty similar. Any reason to choose one over the other for a 300yds and in hunting bullet (Whitetail Deer and Small Black Bears)?

Thanks,
Ross

I know an equal amount of people who use no lube on jacketed bullets. I do not use it but clean my sizing die every other time out. Too much lube can distort the jacket just like it can a cartridge case. A little more $$ but I would use Pittman bullets they have about .006 thicker jacket.

I have only used the 275 Parker BE in most of the rifles I have built.
The effects of that bullet on a whitetail are found below.
