So, being a conservative kind of guy, I first loaded some Hornady 250 grain FTX for my Bushy (I know, wild, right?). Because that’s what Hornady Custom and Black use. Then I went crazy and loaded some 225 grain FTX because they are WAY cheaper and they will still hold up to the demands of hunting deer with the Bushy. Someone recommended these Barnes bullets
But they’re almost $1 each! I could buy factory ammo for that! I like the FTX bullets so the Barnes would have to be pretty amazing.
So, do I just stick with the Hornady 225’s for fun/target and possibly deer hunting? Is there a bullet/load I should be trying? I’m not ready for the real heavy loads because I like the faster and flatter.
