I also tried the Hornady fbp 350 's yesterday with dismal accuracy oh well
Very nice shooting. Kinda funny...we both were experimenting with Deepcurls for the exact opposite reason.
That's interesting that the SSTs weren't accurate out of your gun...isn't that why everyone likes the SST so much (accuracy)? Let me rephrase...2-3 MOA is plenty accurate for most hunting situations, but everyone likes to see a one-inch group. I was getting 1 MOA with my previous load, but wanted to make the move to a deadlier bullet (hence the Deepcurl). I wanted to use the 250gr, but my local store only had the 300gr in stock. I was actually expecting less accuracy out of the Deepcurls due to that massive hollow point, and was willing to live with 2 MOA if I could get there. I'm glad to see that I could achieve 3 shots touching at 100 yards. If you want to tighten your group up, I agree with builder...try a little tighter sabot. Those CRs are nice b/c they load like butter, but in my gun, well you can see the group difference on that target I posted.
