[mack166]

Got my shipment of bullets and sabots from midway USA a day early gottta love that so off to the range or back field at a hundred yards the speer deep curl 270 grain soft point shot a five shot group of about an inch recovered bullets from the dirt mound I was shooting at and the litest bullet recover was 205 grains and very mice mushroom also shot the 300 grain hornady that group was about a inch and a half five shoot group also recovered those litest was 225 grains also good exspansion on those also both of those for the 44 cal 429 dia in harvester crush rib sabots gun was tc impact 100 grains bh 209 cci mag primers and 2x7 red field scope . Will post pics when I figure out how and get a chance , both are very promising loads

Sounds like a good shooting load with either bullets.

Yeah I was very surprised had to go check the target after the 3rd shot was hard to see the 2nd and 3rd shot on both groups

Them 270g Deep Curl have really performed well for me. Deer drop where they stand, when hit by this bullet, for some reason. Lung shot deer haven't ever run. I don't understand why. I have found several of these bullet on the ground behind the target, and they, as yours did, stay together.

I was surprised the Hornady bullet you found in the dirt stayed together. Whenever i find a Hornady bullet behind targets, they are in pieces, except for the 200g sst.

That is some good shooting. I have some of them. I will have to try them when the BlackHorn 209 gets here.

They were the 300'grain .429 hornadys with the double cannuler all peeled back to the second cannuler and no farther the dirt mound has a little bit of everything in it branches ,bricks ,rocks so I' ve had the sst strip there jacket just bouncing off of sand i'm going to shoot the .429 265 grain next to see if they will hold ther jacket

This is old but it might help some... If you use Photobucket to host your pictures you do not have to worry about resizing them.
