I picked up those 410 grain great plains bullets today and what i thought was ffg triple 7 that turned out to be fffg triple 7 when i got home. I set a target up @ 20 yards and took a shot and was happy as heck to see that the bullet hit exactly where i was aiming. I only had enough light for one shot before it was to dark, but so far i think this new bullet will be a winner. All i will probably have to do is adjust my powder charge up once i start working in the 50-75 yard range.
70 grains FFFg triple 7
410 grain hornady great plains
Winchester Triple 7 209 Primer " $8.69 a box [&:]"
Recoil was.... well, there was none! I really love that limbsaver recoil pad i had put on the rifle some months back
I think i will max my load out at 80 grains of triple 7, thats what the rifle loved with the 385's i used to shoot. Going to do a few more shots tomorrow evening and tune it in for 50 yards.
How many bullets in a box for $8.69, 20? I just a limb saver for my Savage. Looking forward to shoot it when it gets a bit cooler in a couple of weeks (hopefully). Chap
