Do not start off with a super ultra xxl mag, or what they are all named.
As have been sad here, they do NO good to the bullet, you just need to load them down in order to use them when hunting. And then, why have one?

Really???

Sorry, read this post and have to say the above is not correct..saw another post stating the same thing in this thread...this is also not correct...

While I appreciate and use many older cartridges and like them a ton...I can send you photos of several "recovered" bullets from my "ULTRA's" or super-mags if you will...and the bullets worked just fine..in fact, using either barnes triple x's or A-frames...have never lost an animal using those bullets using my Ultra-mags...shots ranging from 75 yards to a bit past 400..

This theory may have been true to a point in the past--but for the past 5 to 10 years...bullets will stand up plenty well to any velocity I am shooting out of my Ultra's...case in point was the .220 swift or 257 Weatherby...very high velocity for their time and in fact, even by today's standards...and yes, the bullets back then did not stand up in all instances...but, you know what..as 9.3's bullet tests have shown...neither do a lot of others in todays world at what I consider very mild velocities...

I can respect anyone's opinion and choice as to what they want to shoot...but there certainly seems to be a lot of incorrect info being promoted with anything that shoots a bullet over 2400 fps..
Kidding, kind of...but man...let it go....

I will continue to shoot the older calibers --but will also continue to shoot the new Ultra's and whatever else comes down the pike...

Why??? Because they work and because I can...

Thank you

Ripp
