That seems strange that the Hornady XTP's would hit that much higher then the Gold Dots. But with the kind of group the Gold Dots get and the overall design of them, they would be my go to bullet.

Do you also shoot the 300 grain Gold Dots? I was wondering how they group, compared to the 250 grain.

I was shooting my White Ultra Mag at the 100 yard bench today. I was shooting my usual 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f and this time a 460 grain Bull Shop in .5045 diameter. They still loaded perfect and without a short starter. Plus I do not swab between shots with the White.



As you can see.. the rifle is sighted in at 70 yards (approximately). On a 50 yard bull I aim to the high center of the bull. I did not expect quite this much drop, but after crunching some numbers I guess this would be about right at 100 yards. I fired ten 500 grain Bull Shopsthenchanging targets. I then fired five of the .5045 at the new target, "fast" to see what a hot barrel would do. I was so impressed I shot five more. The last two, I aimed high a little to see what would happen.
