The perfect combination
I finally found my perfect combination. Here it is Triple 7 209 primers, 100 grains of pyrodex pellets, 195 grain barnes expander, Winchester x-150 .45 Cal. topped with a bushnell 1.74-4. This load shoots >3/4" all 5 shots inside the 1" dot at 100 yards. This bullet is also awesome on game.
  Sorry bout the giant pictures. Die Hard 2 Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
RE: The perfect combination
Sounds like you're ready to hunt!
I've shot several deer with expanders, and every one hashas dropped in it's tracks. |
RE: The perfect combination
That would be a very good load. It sounds like you're all set. Good luck.

RE: The perfect combination
You gotta love it when it all comes together.:) Sounds like you've got a good load. I'm shooting the 250 gr. Barnes expander out of my Knight with 110 gr. of FFF triple seven. The groupshave run from1 1/8" to 1 1/2". I'm real anxious to see how that 250 gr. bullet does on deer size game.

RE: The perfect combination
ORIGINAL: diehardhunter I have my ML for 3 years and I havent really found a great load before this one. I tried probably 10 bullets before barnes. I have been using shockwaves the last couple years and they shot pretty good about a little over 2" at 100. But I didnt like there on game performance. Yes I am using the supplied sabot. What 10 bullets did you try? I ask because I have tried 8 different bullets this year in my Savage: http://www.the-gleasons.com/this_is_my_savage_10_ml_page.htm Chap Gleason |

[/blockquote] I think they will be awsome. Go to http://www.barnesbullets.com/and order the 2 free CD from Barnes, I wish the Barnes shot well in my gun. I tried two, the TMZ and the Knight Untimate Slam (same as the X bullet I believe). Both shot adequate, but not excellent. chap Gleason _____________________________ |
RE: The perfect combination
I'm going to use the 250gr Barnes Expander MZ this year. They shoot as good as anything I've found so far out of my CVA. A lot of guys complain about the cost but I won't let a few dollars stand in my way of a bullet that preforms the way these Barnes do.
