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?

RE: The 50/40 200gr
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.
