RE: Barnes 285gr spit fire and harvester crush rib sabots?
That Barnes bullet is the copper version of the Buffalo 285 gr. S.S.Bs. For many years, Buffalo used the regular Harvesters with this bullet. You want the package for 451-452 (black) ... get the short ones for sub-300 grain bulletsif two lengths are offered. I don't recommend the crushed ribs for 150 gr. (three pellet) loads with any bullet. For roughlyevery shooter that has success with that magnumcharge using the crushed ribs-- roughly two shooterswill not have any success.... reason-being is the partial thin composition.
