OK Guys, I have a Searcy field grade and want to load the 500 gr Northfork CP and FP. The rifle is regulated to 108 gr IMR 4831 with 500 gr Woodleigh softs. Any suggestions as to where to start with Northforks? Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ... Knifemaker, http://www.mstarling.com | ||

Start with the same load. But you may need to up the powder charge because the NF bullets engrave so easily they might not generate as much pressure (velocity) as the Woodleighs. | |||

Mike .... these are the monometal bullets, correct ??? And they're OK for the double rifle, because they only engage the rifling on their rings ??? ____________________________ .470 & 9.3X74R Chapuis' Tikka O/U 9.3X74R Searcy Classics 450/.400 3" & .577 C&H .375 2 1/2" Krieghoff .500 NE Member Dallas Safari Club | |||

Frank, the North Forks are copper like a BarnesX bullet but with flat noses.. Mike | |||

Retreever Mike, NF bullets are in fact banded, like G S Custom, RIGHT? Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

Yes North Fork bullets are banded...they are not monometals... Mike | |||

Huuuhhh?? Now I'm even confused.  The solids are monometal and banded. The softs are bi-metal and grooved. | |||

So I am guessing that NFMike is THE Mike of North Fork Bullets? Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||
