GM54-120
Yes the PR QT Bullets in 250gr shot good using 100gr BH209. I do not think I recovered any of them sabots. Sometimes I forget to look. The lead bullet in the MMP tans load pretty easy in the TC bore. Recoil is a little heavier with the 250's though.

I have some PR 240gr Dead Centers and some 215 QT's to test to.
Here was another thing I noticed today. My Chrony sits maybe 4ft off the muzzle. I place it there due to the way the range slopes down off the benches and for fear if I place it further out I will put a hole through it. I found pieces of BH209 in the Chrony tray today when I was packing up. They were broken pieces not whole. There were not many but enough for me to notice.
Where did you find the 180gr Gold Dots in stock at? I saw the 180 SB had a slightly better BC. then the regular ones.
