Thanks, the really impressive part IMO is the 260gr group is one shot by me and 2 friends. The first two shots with the 260gr in that group had a full 15min of cool down and the last one was after roughly 40min. I did load each one and index the sabots so that was very consistent using the Knight Range Rod. I left the PowerRod on the gun on purpose too, just to simulate it in the field. Its turns out it is an original XS Sights rod too after i double checked the logo.

This is more of a testament of the equipment and to some extent the loading procedures. Any time i find a load that appears to shoot well for ME, i let at least one other shooter take a few shots too. I have a large amount of Chucks old load data so the ground work was already done. The little 225gr FTX is a hoot to shoot but not much of a deer bullet IMO. Im going to try the lighter 200gr FTX sometime because it is a much tougher bullet made for the 460 S&W at 2300fps. The 225gr is made for about 1300fps max and it was blowing big holes in the back of the heavy cardboard box i was using.

The 260gr PT Gold i had to try. No one on Dougs board seems to care about the Harvester PT Gold bullets. IMO that load is way too fast for close range but i bet it would be awesome past 200 yards. Plus its pretty cheap compared to other "pointy" bullets. Using subs it has shot great for me and many others so i was curious.

Ive got 2 videos of shooting it off of the sled that i will post after i edit them.
