Hello guys I've drawn a short range weapons tag and so I can shoot a bullet with a sabot and was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Precision Rifle Dead Center bullets or the Parker brands bullets?? I've search the net and seem to get a 50/50 report on bullet performance on the Dead center but all has said very very accurate bullet but most of these reviews are from years ago when they first came out. Anyone use these lately?? Thanks much
 
LAST EDITED ON Jul-29-15 AT 07:34PM (MST)[p]They are both upper-shelf performers. Buy a package of each and try them at the range. It's best to have a minimum of two different bullets to choose from, when seated at the range.
 
Yep have some coming and by the sounds of it I'm pretty sure I'll get both shooting well, the reviews a lot of guys were giving was bad performance on game, but those were all 8 years old give or take and the one recent one I found looked and sounded like they had done really well. A Fella shot a moose with the Dead Centers and they were flat, but busted a lot of bone and a lot of penetration. I know these will do fine for antelope and deer but would like to have heard something a little recent.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jul-30-15 AT 09:30AM (MST)[p]Dead Centers are known to create two holes. My Polymer Tips generally only create one hole and are deep penetrators. All the lead bullets run into more issues upon bone hits than copper-clads.

Since price is not a big issue with you, consider the Hornady Monoflex. They fly as straight as their next-to-kin SSTs, but expand better / penetrate better. The brassy Knight Bloodlines / Lehigh CFs and the copper Barnes TEZ / TMZ are top-shelf too.

I buy economy bullets that work well. Those Polymer Tips I mentioned (when on sale), Hornaday XTP 300s, Speer Deep Curl 250s (good luck finding any Deep Curl), Harvester PT Golds, Hornady SSTs 200s, which are given the most stars of the SST/Shockwaves lineup, at various boards like this one.

Every bullet I mentioned can be googled and searched for, all giving positive reviews. Every member here has their favorites. The ones I mentioned are 'proven & trusted'. The only mixed review on my bullet was the Deep Curl 250. I bought a ton of them, but was told later the 240s and 300s have a smaller hollow point, slightly different tail and perform better than my 250s.

Mine are fine for deer thou. Those other two sizes are better/tougher for bigger game, which I do not hunt anymore.
