I think that the easy way is to do a search for "GS". There have been several discussions recently that are very informative.

Bill,
I tried to do that prior to sending out the question, as I did not want to take up space to rehash any recent discussions. The search brought up many messages with various threads, but none of them contained anything with regards to GS bullets. Could you clue me in on where these might be located or any tips on using this particular search engine?

Thanks,
RJ

I just typed in "GS custom bullets" and allowed it to search "all forums" and got 91 topics that concerned Gerard and his bullets. I will admit that you will have to read a little briskly since some of us get off topic occasionally. There is a current thread that William Tibbe (Kendall Dace) and Gerard get into some sparring which has some good information.

Also try the link that Gerard puts at the end of all his posts, it is an extremely informative site. www.gscustom.co.za
I just ordered mine 2 weeks ago so I have some time to wait before they get here. Look in the Reloading forum under "GS custom bullets" by Al Smith. It is about 2/3 way down from the top.

If this doesn't help, e-mail me and I'll do a sort for you.

What more can a guy ask?

My theory is that Barnes shoot fairly well in top-quality custom barrels.

Every GS custom bullet I've tried drives tack from factory barrels, and this seems to be a common experience. I think it is the driving bands.

I have spent hundreds of $ trying to get Barnes X to shoot in factory barrels and never got groups reliably less than 1.5 inches.

My average group size for all loads all calibers of GS bullets has been .65 inches at 100 yards.

Recon just how fast that RUM will push his little 130s

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

300 RUM - 130 gr HV - start with 95 gr H4831 and work up to 3650 fps in a 24" barrel.

GS Custom Bullets

Every man dies, but not every man really lives!!

The GS flat nose solid is the most inovative and needed bullet to come down the pike in about a century and they do work on elephant, hippo and Buffalo. The FN solid works surprisingly well on plainsgame..
