The 50/40 200gr
 
Why I like them. For comparison
50/40 200gr SW 2150fps300gr SW 1825fps
PBR= 200ydsPBR = 150yds
100yds= "0"100yds = +2.8"100yds="0" 100yds= +3.1
200yds=-8.6200yds =-3" 200yds= -14" 200yds= -7.8
300yds=-30"300yds = -22.4" 300yds= -50.5 300yds= -41.2
Now the yardage advantage is apperant what is not and what I can not explain is why they seem to be more accurate with heavy loads; the lighter weight with a BC of 2.69 and SD of 179 is why I used the 300gr to compare them to.
I thought maybe this would explain why some of use would like to see some different thickness sabots made so they can be used in any gun.
I have used them on deer and boar with excellant results but have not been able to recover any bullets because of pass throughs. Any comments?

all my rifles (inlines) like the 200 grain shockwaves. And with a heavy powder charge. I also shoot the 200 grain XTPs with good results...

I use 210 grain .410 Gold Dot Hollow Points in my .41 Mag Ruger Bisley. I suspect I could load them in my Mustang with crush ribs. If so, it would make a dandy load.
