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
To tell you the truth I was hoping for more. And remember this was out of a 28" barrel with #11 CCI caps.
The only time I chono'ed both t7-2f and 3f together I was really surprised. I was shooting the A&H (26" barrel) with 300 grain bullets 209 ignition and 100 grains of T7. As I remember I shot 6 of each - six shots of 2f - six shots of 3f - the 3f averagedonly about 100 ft per second faster than the 2f. Sort of amazed me I was expecting a much bigger jump - did not happen...
I think those and I want to get some 300 grain .458 XTP's
I have been shooting the .458XTP's for a long time now - I use the Nosler .458 for elk hunting and since I can not afford to shoot them at paper I sub in the Hornady's - they really shoot well - think you would like them... The only reason I am so stuck on these Gold Dots right now is the BC is so much higher. When you get a chance to get some of the 300 grain Gold Dots - look at the HPoint - the way it is designed the bullet is going to open up and since it is a bonded bullet it should also stay together and be one heck of a tissue cutting machine.
