Default New Sabots Range report

I kept reading reports that said the short black Harvestor in the Triumph with a 250SW could not be bettered THEY JUST MIGHT BE RIGHT.

This one is the Harvestor Crush Rib; the bullet fits much better you dont have to fight it and not know if it ever got seated in the bottom of the sabot. The temp. was 94 degrees and this was the 7,8,9th shots I could still hold my hand on the barrel but it was hot and I knew my wife was waiting supper. The other 3 on the paper was an experiment with 130 gr of BH and it did not work the 3 SW200gr in the group were shot with 100gr BH and the Harvestor sabot out of a very hot barrel and are proably no where near what it will do in better conditions.

Dave that .210 group is the best I have every done at a 100yds with ANY gun, I hope it did not make my 270 or my 223 feel bad. it sure made me grin. Lee

When you shoot something like that the rest of the day just seems to be fine...

Those kind of groups are possible. Its just that they seem so few and far in between. Still you have a good rifle, and you know your loads. Having the shooting skills you have, kind of tells the rest of the story.

Great shooting, Lemoyne! I'm glad you weren't attacked by ol' Gopher5. He ruined my "best-ever" three shot group (which wasn't quite as good as that .210 of yours).

I am hesitant to try, again my varmint rifle don't even shoot that good; I keep hoping it was not a fluke but I really know better. Lee
