It can certainly shoot better than I can aim it anymore.
Tom sent my little sister Alex a buttload of those 220gr Lehighs. I am assuming they are the ones you were referring to. They sure do the damage. They also shoot fantastically out of that smokeless screaming along at around 2700 fps+. They flew great out to 200 but at around 300 they started to open up a good bit. Just not enough BC for the long shots.
When they are available I will get some of those 230's for the Renegade. Which sabot did you use?

They are on the web site now...

They are 451 but have a very aggressive knurling to lock themselves in the sabot so they do not slip in the sabot.


I was using the normal black MMP HPH 24


Crap! those 220's at 2700fps would be truly devastating! on about anything!
