    I used to use the Belmont produced rounds religiously, I think they were 114 grn SP. Almost always found them balled up just under the skin, they accounted for a lot of deer. Then getting them consistently was a issue so I began to use a lee (whack a mole) reloader. They still performed just as well. As you know with reloading the desire to achieve a better trajectory etc, eventually lead me to a 25-06 Ackley improved. I still have but it hasn't seen the light of day in a long time.
