hornady 129 interlock bullet

[SDguy]

hey guys i got a box of these hornady 129 interlock bullets just layin around...i got them for the creedmoore but never used them

so i thought i would try them in the grendel

i picked up a jug of BLC2 the other day and i got some varget and h4895 and cfe223 and some ar-comp

i am gona start with the BLC2..i would like to get these things flying around 23-2400fps...i read that they will work down to around 1800fps

any you guys got any pet loads with these bullets?? have you hunted with them?? i think i want to get something worked up to use on deer this fall maybe

i got some stuff put together with the BLC2 ...28gr-28.5gr-29gr and that is about a gr under max according to the hornady book...waiting on the weather ..gona be in the mid 90's today but later in the week it is supossed to cool down more like fall temps

could be a real nice deer bullet out to 200 if i can keep the speed up...most shots around here are under 100 so it should work out just fine

thanks

Are you working with a bolt or gas gun? what is your barrel length?

My first propellant choice for the 129 gr fb sp is not on your list. LVR is king for the 129 gr SP in my experience in a bolt gun. Start low with CFE 223 data & work up would be my approach. CFE 223 would be my 2nd choice.
