Finally my bullet order is here, now I just need time to get out and try them in the Patriot.

I am planning to stop by for a visit in late August on my way to the Adirondack for hiking the High Peaks. I go right through Carthage.

Make sure you try the bonded version if that pinpoint shoots have an open star tip and my rifles is shot just as well is the pointed and I'm sure the performance on game would be a lot better

So I’m getting close with the pin point bullets. I put 5 out of 6 in that big hole and of course I got excited when the first four went there and blew the 5th wide left. So I had to try again and with the pressure of ruining the group off I put #6 where it should be.

Only my third try at shooting my sized bullets and I think I’m getting the hang of this.

That's a good group!!

It looks like you are very much "getting the hang of this". Great shooting, great gun ammo combination.

I would be interested to see how these perform in Ron's bullet test. I am thinking about trying some.

Great shooting

They perform very poorly in Ron's test, order the bonded version it performed very well and you'll find it shoots just as accurately.

I have every intentions of shooting deer and hogs with the pinpoints however even though they did poorly in the bullet expansion test,, they excelled in the accuracy test.

LHR was that group shot in your Patriot?

Yes it was.

Great shooting

Considering I’ve bloodied my nose twice now with this rifle, I’ve got to work on that flinch!

Is that a benchrest rifle are you sure it's not like a PPC or 6br maybe a 6.5 creedmoor? It must be no muzzleloader shoots that good

Haha , definitely not a bench rest rifle, my bloody nose is proof of that.
But it’s going to be fantastic out in the bush elk hunting!

I just received my order of 270grain Northern Precision Pinpoints. I am very impressed with uniformity and packaging is top notch. I expect I’ll be ordering more from Bill

FYI.. I bought a thicker Kick-Eez Prefit KZ106 recoil pad for my Patriot. It’s a nearly perfect fit out of the box - I was even able to use existing screw holes.
Good luck!!
