Hello, I've worked up a good hunting load with the BT's using 46gr of Varget Nosler brass and Federal 210's. I'm shooting 3/4 with this combo out of a Savage Model 10 PC (20"). I was just wondering if using the match bullets would make that much of a difference for punching paper. Anyone ever done any comparisons using these to bullets?

Shouldn't make a huge difference, but due to difference in bearing surfaces etc, drop down a little on the powder and double check for pressure before going right back to the 46gns.

one thing to look at.its a hunting bullet and made with a harder jacket than the NCC is made with.for me when shooting the NBT I found it to copper foul alot faster and dropping accuracy.so now for me its just what it is a hunting bullet.
quick range check for point of aim then off to hunting I go.after season is over I go back to my papper load.but after a good cleaning to remove the copper from the barrel that the NBT left behind.
