I shot some 385 grain Hornady Great Plains conicals with a MMP sub base under them. I loaded 100 grains of Goex 2f. I do not have one of them fancy speed measuring machines like you, but these Great Plains really seem to have a good ring to them in the steel bullet trap. Accuracy was very good.

I shot them out of a Black Diamond XR at 25 yards for starters, and the accuracy was exceptional. Since my shooting bench was frozen in the snow, I took shooting sticks back to 50 yards and shot them there. Again, more then pleased with the accuracy out of the Black Diamond XR and the 385 grain Great Plains concial.

I did not take photos of the box I was shooting into. Those big conicals just tore big holes through everything they hit. It was 14 degrees outside, and snowing. I want to get them back to the 100 yard next. The scope on the Black Diamond did try and get friendly once, but no cut. You really have to hold on to them. I think I will try them out of the open sighted Renegade Stainless Steel barrel and see how they shoot next.

Sabotloader.. I always enjoy your range reports because of all the effort you put into details. I would have never throught 80 grains of T-7 would have produced those kind of velocities, but then it was 3f and T-7 would have been around a 100 grain load of Goex. Interesting about the older version of the bullets. I think those and I want to get some 300 grain .458 XTP's to try next.
