Dave have you shot Bull Shops from your BD-XR? If so which bore size? I am thinking you have said the barrel on your BD is much the same barrel as my Omega... Does he BD have a QLA?

Does your barrel float or is solid in the stock?

He can use sabots but the projectile needs to be all lead... I have never shot or even seen the SSB, but I am guessing that is a sabot/lead bullet?

If I remember correctly hecan shoot powerbelts - all lead version. Does Harvester produce and all lead variety of the powerbelt? Obvious I have no interest on PB's so I have never looked this info up.

I never shot the Bull Shop but I have shot the .503 No Excuses out of the BD and they did great.



Yes the Black Diamond XR has a QLA but it has never bothered my accuracy.It also is a free floating barrel whichwas their big selling point there for a while.

The Buffalo Bullet SSB is a 375 grain all lead Spitzer point with a slight hollow tip. Very accuracy, but very heavy. I shoot them with 100 grains of powder, but I person I talk to with the same rifle hunts elk with them using 110 grains of Triple Se7en 2f powder.

I don't know what Harvester produces for a powerbelt type bullet. I will have to see if the BD likes some Bull Shop .503 conicals in 460 grain. That would be good elk medicine.
