Default RE: Went to the sporting goods store today

ORIGINAL: frontier gander

Well i had to take some packages to the dreaded UPS store and on the way back my sister and i stopped at the sporting goods store and i almost bought a package of great plains bullets before i decided i want to try something different.

I bought a package of knight high pressure sabots and a box of 50 Hornady XTP in 300 grain.

Im going to load up my winchester and take a couple shots at 50 yards just to see how they do. I will use 80 grains of triple 7 and work up from there. First i will see how they load!

The CVA Staghorn will give them ago after the winchester.
I like the 300g Hornadys, they have a lot of down field energy, I however use the Mag, they are harder and penetrate deeper. I use to use Hornadyfor plinking before SabotLoader introduced me to Speer Gold Dot, now I use the Gold Dots. Your grouping pretty good at 50 with open sights. Best wishes. Chap Gleason
