North Fork Bullets are Accurate!

In this video I test a premium bonded bullet from North Fork. I test them in my 270 Winchester and my 300 Weatherby.

[@pabloco091]

Man I loooove when that 1st group hits!!!

[@jrhunt414]

So basically it’s like an old trophy bonded bear claw. Great terminal performance. I think the weight (lead) in the front helps it stabilize better.

[@inupik23]

Tbbc is a damn good bullet, so I think this one will be great too!

[@northforkbullet]

Mike Brady started North Fork in Glenrock Wyoming many years ago. He looked at the bear claw and developed that bullet to make North Fork. So you are right. Just little better ;-)

[@Safarihunt122]

This bullets is an excellent choice for African game. The 180gr out of a 300 mag or a 30-06 is a perfect combination for anything from Impala up to Eland. Keep up the good work.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Thanks

[@darrylpacholko5495]

Almost like my favorite bullet the Federal terminal ascent. I think that mix of bonded lead and copper is the wave of the future.

[@BigTimberLodge]

I see that ring light reflection! Looking good, looking really good.

[@hopefulballistics]

Nice group, nice bullet!

[@shanerhodes925]

I looked up so e of these bullets fairly expensive but i used bonded brear claws or a long time. The best bullet i ever used bu far. i might have to try so e of thses in 284 and 308. I have been looking for bear claws since they tupped them. Very excited about these bullets

[@northforkbullet]

Mike Brady started North Fork in Glenrock Wyoming many years ago. The bonded bear claw was the bullet he look at and develop to make our products. You find all information in our webpage. If you have any question feel free to contact us.

[@heerkrupp64]

You made a good point with regards to the 270 with this bullet.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Thanks

[@user-gk2ir4ml3t]

I like this...I have always thought a front weighted bullet would be more stable. Look at a childs top, it spins best when the weight is forward as well Also thanks foe the 165 ABLR info. I am a .270 wcf user..for 50 years. The thing just keeps gettin better over time. I have used the 160 Nosler NP quite alot, It is alot less efficient but has always shot very well

[@gym55rat]

Usually use the terminal ascent but excited to try the new fusion tipped

[@ShaunZimmerman668]

A semi pointed. I had some 6mm 100 grain Sierra semi pointed that were just as accurate as the Sierra spitzer 100 grain flat base!

[@derekmcmurry]

My newest rockstar powder for 270 Win is SUPERFORMANCE. In a 25" barrel I got 3380fps with a 130 Barnes TTSX. In the 24" barrels we got 3325fps. Accuracy insane. Those North Fork bullets might do very well with that powder. My charge is 59.5 grains. I never did get to a max charge showing pressure with any rifle but got up to 61.0 grains. but accuracy fell off the cliff at 60.0+ grains.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Nice

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I think this is a premiere hunting bullet. It's like barnes tsx and nosler partition had an ugly love child. 😅

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Kind of looks like it!

[@CraigFerrieri]

i love your channel i also shoot 300wby mag forever what do you think about the 174 gr hammer hunter bullets for accuracy and performance on elk deer etc

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Hammer are extremely accurate! I shoot the 92 gr out of my 257 Weatherby. Haven't tried them on game yet. They seem good

[@luvtahandload7692]

Nice group with the 165gr in the 270. What elevation are you at?

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

5100 feet

[@tripplebeards3427]

Those ribs look like the old Nosler Zipedo’s and screw lathe 300 Win Mag Nosler Partirions.

[@tripplebeards3427]

Now that I watched the video and heard you say they are a solid copper bottom they basically are an updated old school Zipedo for sure. I traded from some .243 75 grain zipedos a few weeks ago. Not expecting one hole groups since they are basically a monolithic bullet from the belly button down.

[@akimlettner2984]

What are your preferred zeroes for your rifles.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

200 yards

[@zebacake4683]

Whats the minimum expansion velocity on those bullets ?

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Not sure... probably 1800 FPS

[@northforkbullet]

Its different between different calibers. 308180gr SS around 1630Fps. 458300gr FP 980Fps. We make test in 10% ballistic gel. You find that in our channel soon. We compare to Horna interlock, Nosl ballistic tip and lapu mega. Our 308 180gr SS open in same distance like thoose. Then we put a cow bone in front and we had a different case with the soft bullets. You find all info in our webpage.

[@zebacake4683]

@@northforkbullet thank you!

[@beavismagnum]

What altitude? Very interested to see if those 165s stabilize in a 10 twist

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

5100 feet. They do stabilize at elevation. I get half MOA with this bullet in my gun. I've taken it out to 800 yards

[@beavismagnum]

@@ReloadingWeatherby interesting! I’ll find out if they work for us flatlanders

[@jaybailleaux630]

I'm curious of the copper fouling in the bore being any different than conventional bullets.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Good point

[@ccfdmd]

Is it just me, or does your 300 recoil less than your 270? Looks that way on the video

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

It does haha. The muzzle brake helps a lot

[@CraigFerrieri]

i was going to say the same thing looks like a pleasure to shoot mine hits pretty hard lol

[@TechnikMeister2]

They abandoned the USA and were sold to a Swedish company, along with their factory. They are now 100% Swedish and addressing the Euro and African market.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

I did mention that

[@northforkbullet]

We havent abandoned the USA. We have American partners with partial ownership. We cater to all global hunting markets, but our largest focus is the US market. You find information in our page.
