I have the Hornady 0.452 300gr HP XTP Mag bullets w/MMP sabots, TC 240 gr XTP Mag Express sabots, 200gr Shockwaves and 250 gr Shockwaves. Does anyone have any trajectory and energy ballistics on any of these bullets? I can use 777ffg, 777 pellets, Pyrodex pellets and Pyrodex powder. I am shooting a Knight Bighorn w/26" barrel and an Omega w/28" barrel.

Thanks

http://www.handloads.com/calc/index.html this calculator will even figure out the BC of the bullet for you. All you need then is the speed and the distance of where you want it to hit.. easy to use and accurate.

I haven't shot them over a chrony, but I shoot the 250 grain shockwaves w/ 110 grains of 777 and a winchester primer out of an Encore. Using a lazer range finder to make sure of the yardage, my rounds shoot about 3 inches high at 100 yards 3 inches low at 150 yards and about 7 1/2 inches low at 200 yards. Groupsat 100 yards are almost cloverleaf and the drop as the distance increases is straight down verticle.Ishot two deer at about 150 yards with a little lighter load last year,one was facing directly away and the other wasquartering towards me. In both cases, the bullet traved through the entire body of the deer lenghtwise, in one case including the spine,and was recoveredunder the skin on the opposite quarter. Outstanding weight retention and bullet expansion.
I would be very confident to shoot a deer at 200 with this setup, not any further.
