Default One Happy HOGGHEAD 6-9-09 .45 Elite

Guys took the .45 Disc Elit out again today for a little range time .
Sence I shot the 200gr SST Yesturday I wanted to try the 200gr Shockwaves today !
Yesturday with 110gr 777 2F& Win. T7 Primersand the SST 200gr with the supplied Tan sabots I had a 1" 3shot group ( Very Happy ) with that group @ 100yds !

So today I tried the same exact load 110gr the best group with the TC 200gr Shockwaves was 1 1/2" @ 100yds !
So I backed the charge down to 100gr 2F 777 same Primers and this was the results @100yds
3 shots almost same hole ! But I did Notice that the Green Sabots Blew off Most of it Sleves to were the Tan Sabots looked Perfict just like a flower !



Here are the Sabots Shot with 100gr of powder



And The Tan Sabot with 110gr of Powder


Thanks Again To all you guys

Outstanding... I am still trying to catch up... Think I am going to try some 3f next trip in the Extreme and then repeat the whole process with the Elite...

Wow, wow, and wow again. That's great shooting Hogg.

Why the heck can't I get groups like that with my 1:30 twist GM LRH Renegade? I guess I'll have to try some Shockwaves. All I've ever shot out of it are 180 and 200 grain XTPs in Harvester sabots.
