Bullets for White
I got to the range this week with my new White Lightning. The No Excuses bullets went down the barrel quite easy. My experience is with a crush rib sabot and the harvester 260 scorpion which has to be pushed down the barrel of my Vortex UL with some force. I'm afraid the NEs will fall out of the barrel, or at least come off the powder in a hunting situation. I also tried some FPB 350's that needed a little more pressure to load and seemed to group better. All shots were with 80 grains of Pyrodex RS.
I'm embarrassed to post the target, but my question is related to how much loading pressure I should expect with full bore bullets. I know Sabotloader warned me about these bullets in the .504 barrel. Do I switch to sabot, or keep trying?
Btw, really nice rifle - great trigger and the damn thing is so light. If I can find a load for it, I'm looking forward to carrying it in the woods. Also, this was my first time with loose powder; so much easier to clean than pellets.
