I agree about the accuracy and about the 150 not being neccessary. Interesting about the 5-30's vs the 3-50's, may have to try that.

I just spent some time shooting the 250 ShockWaves yesterday. I was shooting 100gr of 777 2f and comparing it to 100gr of BM3. Both loads printed within an inch of each other at 50 with the 777 being a little tighter. I wish I had a chonograph to check the speed (anyone clocked these loads?), I'm guessingit's around1850fps. I wasn't seeing any big advantages, accuracy wise, in the BM3 so I moved out to 100 with the 777 load and checked the grouping. Out of 3 shots, 1 was a flyer that I pulled and knew it, the other 2 were 1" high centered in the same hole 1/8" group. After that I moved out to 200 to fine tune/check what it would do. Printed a couple of inches right and 10" low 1.5" group. BTW, I didn't swab between shots and only cleaned the bore once due to plastic fouling during the 20 shots I shot. If I adjust to 3" high at 100 it should be about 6" low at 200. I think that should work just fine.

I also tried the BM3 with the 460 No Excuses bullet. My standard load with it is 90gr 777 2f, 777 at 50 - 1/4" group, BM3 at 50 - erratic, maybe 10" group. I will be doing some more testing with the BM3 but so far in my gun it seems more consistent with the smaller bullets.
