Default RE: sighting in????

Thanks for the info guys. Triple Se7en are saying that I should try maybe 90-95grns if I want to shhot 100yrds plus? I tried shooting the 300grn sst/ml's but I couldn't get in down the barrel due to thicker sabot. But i did notice that the local shop did sell bags of sabots but not sure what type they were. What type come with the 240grn xtp's? (they are green, the sst/ml's were a black sabot)

Eventually, as you move out further, you will want to switch to the more durable black sabots. Here is a website that sells the Harvester Crush Ribs. I have tried the sabots in the link belowwith your SSTs/Shockwaves. They load alot easier than with the sabots in that bullet package. The green sabots would give me an occasional flyer - right off the target paper. There are a couple of other posters here that have experienced the same thing.

Try the 50-pk plastic sabotsout! Then you can also start buying those XTPs and Gold Dots in 50 & 100-pk bulk. They are right down the reloading aisles in most hunting stores. Makes shooting alot cheaper.
