The target I posted was also a 50 yard target, I was a little disappointed with the size but as I said I was shooting through a chrono and that always robs me of some concentration + I could not beleive I did not have any MMP HPH-24 sabots with me. I like them just a bit better than the Harvester because it seems to me that the polymere in the MMP is a little more pliable and grabs the lands a little better, which i beleive gives me more accuracy and velocity.... not enough difference to really mention but it is in my mind and you know the power of the mind.

We all want our rifles to be the most accurate thing on the universe but when it comes down to it - it is a hunting rifle - it is not a target rifle. After I shot the 50 yard target I shoot a hundred yard target 4 times to verify left/right and 1.5 to 1.75 inches up. That group was just a bit over 1.5 inches but not quite 1.75. That was enough paper for me, the true test is will it shoot something killable - hence the clay pigeons placed at different ranges and different heights. There you have to make adjustments more like hunting. If I can break these with one shot each at different angles and different ranges then I really do feel I can shoot at animals... even ground squirrels.

The Gold Dot (IMO) is a far better game bullet than the XTP, it is bonded and acts more like a Nosler Partition (which I no longer can afford to shoot) than anything else. Quite often I shoot the lead right out of the copper with the XTP's, except the 10mm 200 grain XTP - it hold together amazingly well. How did the Gold Dotsshoot for you?

I did weigh my charges once for awhile, I am a reloader by nature, so I knew that weighed charges would out perform thrown charges, did not happen for me, there are just to many varibles. Not even the sabots are absolutely the same size everytime and bottles of powder vary also... just many varibles.

For me it is all recreation and I enjoy it a ton...
