Default RE: All lead sabotted load for Washington State

two years ago I recommended the 375 Buffalo Bullet SSB to an elk hunter. He was using a Black Diamond XR and was looking for an elk load. I do know he was shooting 110 grains of Triple Se7en 2f under them. He took a nice cow elk I believe at about 75 yards. He reported the bullet did extensive damage, mushroomed excellent and sure did a number on that cow.

I am positive the NE's would also work excellent. I'd simply try both and then take the most accurate and powerful of the two. Carry them both for that matter.

Just ordered some of the Buffalo SSB 375 grain Sabots for the Knight. Looking for any good recommended starting points on loads. I am shooting 777 powder in a Knight Bighorn. Looking to push them for what they are worth and still get accuracy. Thanks.

I have found you can push those Spitzer pointed Buffalo Bullet SSB's pretty hard like 120 grains of loose and they still fly true. I just tone them back to 100 grains in most my rifles because for the distance I am hunting/shooting that is more then enough gas on them.

[:@]*** and with the cost of gas now a days we do not want to waste a drop!!
