which bullet for whitetail
I've been reading and watching you guys on bullets. When I first bought my Mountaineer I bought some bullets and stuff but have only shot about 20 rnds using 3 different bullets. I bought a box of:
Hornady FTX 225 Grain and I have the TC yellow sabots. I mainly got those for just messing around.
Hornady SST 300 grains with the supplied sabot.
Hornady XTP 240 grains with supplied sabot.
my questions are.
Is there much of a difference between the sabots? should I buy harvesters or use the supplied?
Which of those three would you take hunting?? which ever one shoots best?
How tight do you seat the bullet on the powder?
I'm shooting BH209 at 75 grains in weight, I think I'm going to start volume measuring since its faster. I also have 777 fffg powder I can use also. I don't need a tack drive (would be nice) but I want something better than my shotgun.
