I was wondering what bullet better 260 Dead Center or 250 SST Hornady? My gun shot the Hornady's 1" Group with MMP Sub-Base at 120 Triple Seven 2F. I was wondering because some reviews say that the Hornady works like a Full MEtal Jacket. Is that True?
I am a fan of Dead Center bullets - but not a fan of the 260 grain. Precision Bullets offerstwo different diameters for the 260.If yours is the 40/50 in 260 grain, that bullet was developed to aid bullet flight ... ie... faster bullet speeds of the smokeless Savage ML-10.
If it's the 44/50 caliber you're questioning, alot of folks have very limited success with the 44-cal plastic sabot holding up with 120-150 grain loads using 777 powder.
I suggest youpurchase the 40/50 220 grain DCor the 45/50 300 grain DC -- if you change your mind about the Hornady SSTs. With the SST groups you're getting, I would put those Dead Centers on the back-burner for a while.
