Range Report-225 Gr. Barnes XPB

[falcon]

Tried the 225 grain Barnes XPB pistol bullet at the range today: These are the .429 bullets. Wanted to take my TC Black Diamond but remembered that it is not registered with the Ft. Sill police.

Distance 50 meters +18" i call it 55 yards.

Gun: CVA StagHorn
Scope: Weaver 3X10X42 Grand Slam set on 4X
Powder: 100 grains of 3F Pinnacle
Bullet: Barnes 225 grain .429 XPB
Sabot: Crush rib
Primer: Winc. 209

The gun was loaded in late October with 100 grains of 3F Pinnacle and the Hornady 240 grain .430 bullet in a crush rib sabot. That bullet impacted two inches below the bullseye. Reloaded and fired the XPB bullet using the same powder charge: It hit the bull.

Swabbed the bore, went to another target and fired a three shot group without swabbing. Had a good group going there until i blew it on the third shot. Packed up my stuff and went home.

BTW: These bullets are the very best kind: Free from Cabela's.

Sooeeeee, here piggy, piggy.

XPB'S are the best bullet barnes ever made for a Muzzleloader. Great shooting.

That is some great shooting there. You need to shoot that into a hog!!

I shoot the Barnes #45123 454Casull .451 Diameter 250 GR XPB Cannelured out of my Black Diamond XR with a Harvester Crushed rib sabot. These things were very accurate and expanded perfect in media. I never tried that one you shot.
