Anyone shoot the Great plains 385 gr out of thier inlines and what are the results. I was thinking of tying some out of my Apex and my knights. Also has anyone tryed the 285gr 45cal. Thanks Kerry
285 and 385s shoot great out of my winchester x-150 .50 cal and my deer creek .45 rifle. Results are 5/8" @ 100 yards with the 385s in my winchester. Your Apex should love them. I use either 80 grains pyrodex rs or 80 grains triple 7. I like the pyrodex RS better in my inline due to all 3 shots grouping while with triple 7 my first shot is always a little high while the next 2 are lower and are the groupers.
In my .45 the 285s were around a 1 1/2" group. I never played with them much due to the rifle loving the 225 grain powerbelts.
The 410 gr. flat point shot great out of my cva last season. I haven't tried them out of my Knight yet. It's just been waaaay to hot to even think of going to the range lately.

5/8" groups has been the worse group i can shoot out of the x-150 with my 80 grains RS and a 385 GP conical. 5/8" is what i have been getting ever since i found this load. 1/2" was the best but that only happened once. I get disapointed if i dont shoot atleast a 5/8 or 7/8" group out of the x-150. I can easily expect and see a 1" group with a 295 powerbelt a 120grains loose RS. Lots of time invested finding these loads. Now its time to go shoot the .45 and dial in my final load that i will use.
