Default RE: 200 grain Hornady SST or 180 grain Gold dot?

ORIGINAL: burntmuch

To be honest 50 to 80 yards is my average shot for deer, but It would be neat to see what the gun / bullet combo would do at 200 yards. Thats hard to imagine from a ML. I think Im gonna pick up some of the SSTs & another pack of the MMP sabots. Another exscuse fr a day at the range
Most inline guns shooting 777 at 130 to 150g with an 250 or 200g SST can get to 200 yards no problem. Any bulletsighted in 3" high at 100 yards (3" over method) will shoot to 150 to 175 yards no problem, anything further hasto have ahigher ballistic coefficient. That is onereason I like theBarnes Origonal 300g SSP, the BC is .291, the 300g SST is.251. It is energy at thepoint of impact, with excellent expansion, penetration and shoot thru that weare looking for in a bullet.
