Roskoe

Roskoe I did not take the chrono with me today I was tryingto be conservative with a 200 grain velocity. Most velocities I have seen for this bullet have been running 2400 fps so I backed down on my velocity. Next trip I will get them chrono'ed.

I was only shooting 90 grains of t7-3f today, but i am thinking I can go to 100 without a problem. I recovered the sabots and there was no sign of stressor excess heatshowing in the cups. Most of the sabots even the petals were still attached. MMP HPH 50/40 sabots.

I am to cheap to buy the SST/Shockwaves to expensive - so the other day when I was in Lewiston I just bought a box Hornady XTP Holloe Points, then ordered the sabots from MMP. I did not think I would really like that light of a bullet from a ML - but, dang they shot nice and if the ballistics are real - they are down right scary...... now will the bullet do it's part at that velocity???? This is when I wish I had some of "jell" I see on CSI shows. The worst part I had just sold myself on the the Speer Gold Dots - I wonder if Speer offers this in a Gold Dot - dang! just looked only 180 grain... I also checked the BC of the SST's 200 grain BC - 265 nice step up but to expensive to play with....
