Does anybody know of anyone who carries 6.8 ammo in the Dallas, Rockwall or Greenville area?

I am an avid 6.8 shooter/hunter/reloader and have tested every bullet out there..
for deer, the 110 pro hunter is good to go (or the Nosler 100 AB)
for hogs the 95 Barnes TTSX
but it also works great for deer and so that's what I run for everything
I would not run the OTM on deer personally
neck shot, sure, but I would be hesitant on a heart / lung shot and not having it open up
I just believe in using bullets designed for hunting when hunting..

SSA 115 grain OTM(devastating open tip match) pure carnage for
$21 a box. That's some good pricing for those wondering it may be cheaper online but by the time shipping is figured it could be more if you don't buy very many. Have you seen what the bullets look like expanded? I have the OTM and purple label BTHP hornadies.

Do Ya'll have a store front or is it all web sales? We have a gunsmithing shop in Richardson where we do our class 3/FFL/ and gunsmithing. Parts are usually online only, but I meet local people all the time. So if you need any just let me know, I can meet you.
