ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM
I clean my 10II with regular CF techinque/solvents in regards to the bore. Shooters Choice MC#7 to remove fouling (especially plastic), via patch/jag and bore brush.
I simply can't get N110 to out shoot 4759 in tin or plastic lot numbers and believe me at 80 dollars a jug I have tried too!!!![:@]
I haven't gotten consistent results from any barnes bullets i have tried much like herman 100 to 200 yards was a stark difference, though my choices are limited up here in canada so take this with a grain of salt.
I would have no problems using the 300 xtp for elk if my range was 200 and under.
Congrats on your shooting,rifle and welcome to the smokeless addiction. It is a fun gun to shoot and learn, but anything but easy like many think
!
Good Luck
What is MC#7. I do not know what the means. Interesting that you have not got Barnes to hit good for you, many use them and call them their killing bullet.
Agree with you on the XTP, I am glad to learn that you consider them a 200 yard bullet, because I figured 150. I have to look at the ballistics. I downloaded that free balistics program(PointBlank v 1.8)and plan on working with it to get some good sight in for 100 yard, how high at 100 to be dead on at 200.
It is very interesting to shoot the Savage, because you basically limited to Sabots <= 300g and certain kinds of Smokeless powders.
Thanks for the info on the 4759. Is it $80 for a 1 lb can? If so that is 4 times the cost of the AA 5744. Now $80 for a 5 lb can is a very good price. I will look into that powder once I get to a place that I can buy it and if it is resonable. We are not exactly in ML heaven here in Norther Va. In fact it is downright hard to get stuff for ML except over the Internet. Chap Gleason
