Finally I shot the Unbonded SW, which was the most accurate a few months ago (June I believe), now they were not so good:
There are those "laws of muzzleloading" kicking in again.
I have a new "law" to add.
"Whatever bullet you think will perform best, will perform best"
That Parker Ballistic was your favorite when you went to the bench, wasn't it?
It certainly produced for you! Good shooting.
No, the Barnes TMZ 290 was the bullet I was hoping would perform well. I wanted to use a Barnes because of their picture perfect expansion and weight retention, but they just never shot right. That is why I shot them again this round. I really didn't want to shoot the Parker because of price, the packages of 12 bullets at Gander Mountain in Winchester Va are $17.99 for 12, this is the Remington package. On MidSouth Shooters Supply they have them for $13.xx, I was hoping the cheaper Harvester PT Extreme with the crushed rib sabot would shoot well in my savage, they are only $8 for 15, but not of the ones I hoped for shot well. I like what I hear so far about the Parker, 90% weight retention, 2x expansion, very accurate, loads ok. Chap
