I had the range to myself this afternoon! Part of my shipment arrived today. Some 250 SST's with Superglide sabots or some such marketing gumbo.

I first loaded and fired a 260 Harvester Scorpion to foul the barrel. For kicks, I aimed at a 50 yd target from the bench. Look how low this hit compared to the shot #1 fired from the flour fouled barrel last weekend. That one was about 2-3" below the center of the "Hillary" dot.

The next 6 shots are at the 100. What a difference fouling makes in this barrel.

Then took most of the "collectors item" 240 soft nose HP 44cal Hornadys to the 200. Pretty windy, but I was impressed with how flat they shot. I'd guess their BC is better than the 10mm/200s which are all Ive shot out there. I think without the wind I could have aimed pretty much dead on with these (meaning neither left nor right). Elevation is almost identical to the 10mm/200's. I stapled all my targets high on the backstop today. That seems to cause the biggest poof of dust from the dirt pile backstops.

I returned to the 100 to try the 250 SST's. They were extremely easy to load. Based on recent comments here, they should have sprayed. I used 100 grains on the first one (far upper right) but backed off to 90 on the next 5. (100 just punishes my cheek with this gun. Can shoot 90 all day long).

Just for kicks, I loaded one last SST to send to the 200. I wasn't going to bother going down for the target, having already taken the picture on the backstop earlier. Look what happened. I know, I know .... pure luck, an accident... but do you think I'll be going back to send a few more 250 SST's down thar?
