Default Range Report

Went shooting today "0" in the new Nikon Omega on the Triumph
checked the grouping with the Short Black Harvester put 5 in under an inch got out the Omega just for fun I tried the same 120 gr BH with the short Black Harvesterput 5 in 7/8 of an inch. Its hard to believe that thissame load only seems to work well with the SW or SST bullet, I tried the 240 XTP the 250 XTP and the GoldDot and they all shoot better with theCrush Rib or the MMp-HPH24.and less powder.

I like the Crushed Rib sabots.

That is some good shooting on your part. When the rifle and load are tuned, and the shooter skilled, the rest is just range time.. Nice shooting.

Thanks guys, its amazing how much more fun shooting is when you dont have to wipe, and you have a load that you can "goto" and tear out the first hole so you know every thing is working right. spent 4 hours at the range today and enjoyed every minute even though it got up to 90 degrees. Lee
