Got yourself a knock-em-download there, Chap.Those Barnes originals are fine bullets.

What was the range? Did you notice much difference in recoil between the orange sabots and the tight ones?
It was 100 yards. Yes those Barnes will do it, but the Origonals don't retain 100% of weight, so I will try the PBX (the Pistol X bullet) and theFlat Base, which is like theMZ only .458 in diameter. Just to see how they print. There was little recoil since I was using a Lead Sled, with about 5 lbs of sand on it. I did not notice any difference between sabots in terms of recoil. Usually after 10 shots I start feeling my arm getting sore, today nothing, not sore 1 bit. I will have to see if the lead sled kills my scope. Chap
Glad you're not sore. I took 6 shots with 70 grains ffg goex and .490 PRB and my upper shoulder hurts I really need to reshape that brass buttplate.

Nice shootin.
