I used some in my Marlin 45-70. It worked great and the accuracy and performance was great, then I started reloading my own.

I've tried all of the available loads at the time. Accuracy was superb across the board. One of them I forget which one shot sub MOA in my Browning BPCR with a scope on it.

I have a fair bit of it left I've offered for sale in the past if you think you'd be interested in trying some before buying a bunch. Shipping ammo is the pain as far as I've been able to determine it has to go from an FFL altho it can go to an individual.

PM or e-mail me if you think you might be interested or you can call me at 256-435-1125 and we can talk about what I have and details.

The review should be available from the Home Page I think.

Oh yeah when you pull the trigger you're gonna KNOW the difference as I said in our phone conversation. :eek: I got the box weighted and it's 15 pounds. Just waiting on your money to arrive and I'll print out a UPS shipping label and take it to town.

JEFF WARD2 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2006, 06:24:13 PM »

the cash should be there any day now they said it should take 3 days, and it was mailed out on the 15th..
and by the way mr.graybeard it was real nice talking to you on the phone..
and again i want to thank you for providing us with such a great web site..

Jeff your money came in the afternoon mail while I was taking a nap. By the time I got up it was too late to get it off. I'll print out a UPS shipping label over the weekend and get it out next week. Dunno if they will be open for me to drop it off on Monday as that's a holiday but at the latest it will be headed your way on Tuesday. When I print out the shipping label I'll PM you the tracking number.

JEFF WARD2 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2006, 06:57:51 PM »

glad to know the money made it to ya !!
your rite about the holiday just wait untill tuesday, no sence in going to the post office on monday.. for a wasted trip..
talk to ya latter..jeff

Ammo can't be shipped thru the Post Office. It has to go UPS. I have an account set up with them so I can print off a shipping label and charge it to my credit card. I then have to either find a UPS driver to give it to or take it to a little store up in Jacksonville who accepts prepaid UPS packages and drop it off. Dunno if they will be open on Monday or closed but I'm pretty sure UPS won't run just as the mail won't on Monday.

What? Was this just changed recently? I have shipped live ammo to and from Alaska just last Sept. At the time, it could not go priority (air) but it could go parcel post (ground)

Yer broke the law then. Postal regulations strictly forbid it.

i,ve been using the 405 gr. load for brown bear up here on the alaska penusila.where we hunt the bears see few if any humans between seasons,soo we can stalk easily to within 75 yards or less.this year i think i<ll switch to the 350 gr. load

JEFF WARD2 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:45:19 PM »

i just got my buffalo bore ammo today and WOW what a difference. this stuff is awsome i only shot a couple of each grain and it is very accurate and it hits very hard, i had a few trees that i needed down behind my barn and now there on the ground, better than a chainsaw..lol..

to anyone thinking about trying it i highly recomend it !! even after only shooting it a few times !! i have no doubt about it in a hunting situation..for anything you are after !!

Redhawk1 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2006, 01:48:45 AM »

I told you you would like them.

:-D

JEFF WARD2 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2006, 02:45:00 AM »
