Just bought RFB-C.

[RFB-C]

My VERY first Black Rifle Purchase.

Anyone try bullets from Nosler? E-Tips, AB or BST?

I am leaning towards BST but want to use this thing for hunting, Deer, Moose, Bear, and Elk so assuming the AB or E-Tip will be better suited towards Elk or Moose.

What bullet weight would be better 150 or 168gr?(not even sure of the barrel twist?)

I am going to try IMR 4895 and Varget, and CCI-200 Primers to start with.

First of congrats!!!

I use wall-mart winchester balistic silver tip (168gr.). They group really well! Even my norinco 7.51x51 147 gr. Surplus groupe under 1.5 moa. Id say stay arround 168gr. and away from soft point!

Seriously, need pics... I'd like to see what's different between my RFB and the new ones

Pics... required. No one should be allowed to own an RFB and talk about it without showing pictures to make everyone else feel better.

Try 150grn nosler accubonds

I have shot honest 1 inch 3 shot groups with factory Norma Match 168 gr HPBT.

Awesome first black firearm! Welcome to the dark side!

Cheers

My RFB's love 165 grain Federal Premium "vital shok" Sierra Gameking BTSP.
Its pretty devastating out to 300m, even on moose or elk.

 

[stormtrooper1015]

My primary choice for factory loaded ammunition if the 168 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertips. Toonie sized groups at 100m from the bench.

Congratulations on the new rifle!

Not a hater. I luv the RFB....

But is it a 'Black' Rifle??

 

[rally guy]

Certainly not red!!

I'd shoot those Gamekings before I'd use Ballistic Silvertips again.

Wait...did the TS say he wants to take out deer, elk and moose with his RFB? Aren't they 22LR? Or am I missing something?

Yes very much so. But not a military rifle. although the action is really just a modernized tilting block short piston design as used on many battle rifles.

Congrats, regarding your bullet choice I love the 165 gr accubonds in my 308. Smacked a moose this year and it performed perfect. I also have shot deer with 180gr accubonds from my 30 06 with great results. There all I shoot for hunting.
