I shoot Barnes originals out of a Savage ,300 grain/458 dia. over 60 grains of vv120 and that is one heck of a long range shooter.
I just got a Savage 10 ML and am shooting AA 5744. Is the Barnes Origonals the Barnes XPB pistol bullet or the Barnes X bullet in 45/70 (i.e. .458 diameter). Also what sabot do you use? I have some Knight Ultimate Slams 290g made by Barnes and some Barnes 285g PBX.
Thanks Chap
The Barne's original is a 45-70 rifle bullet it has an exposed lead tip
Its been around forever. I use the MMP orange sabot. This bullet has to be pushed as its very tough and needs some speed to open up. I never
recovered one from a deer as they always go thru. I have shot a few out of a White and they are very accurate but never shot an animal with that load.
