RE: IMR POWDER (white hot pellets) has anyone tried these?
 

That's interesting rshunter. How many shots were you able toshoot without cleaning?

I was doing a search for white hots and found this thread.

I got about 7 shots before doing a patch. I didn't need to, but wanted to see if it would improve the group. Even at 7 loads the 300 gr. XTP sabot still went down the barrel of my NEF very smoothely. I like this powder very much. It was very clean and I had great groups. And I had no crud ring like 777.

I have now made up my hunting loads with this powder for the NEF. It is a little expensive, but it works!!!

Read a post on another forum where two white hot's pellets and 240gr XTP were used with a CVA Elecktra and acheived 3/4 in groups at 100yds.

I can believe that. I was getting three shots touching with my 300 gr. XTPs at 50 yds. I never took the gun over to the 100 yd range. i was setting it up for three inches high at 50 yds and that would put me between 50 and 100 yds. I am impressed with the pellets and will use them for hunting season. :party0005:

I bought these white hots pretty much out of the blind!!
I had just arrived home with my brand new CVA optima in the real tree thumbhole stock and my neighbor was out so i showed him my new purchase and he started telling me about these pellets.
i used pyrodex in my knight .50 cal but he told me these were great and they burned real clean.
so i went to gandermountain.com and added them to my cart and then saw the extra 20 dollar charge for shipping them! so i called all over town but nobody carries these things so i went ahead and ordered them.
the next day i thought i would check the net for some reviews (which i should have done FIRST) and im seeing a very good percentage of guys claiming MISFIRES, DELAYED FIRES, NO FIRES, OR TUMBLERS!!!
im very concerned now that i have a $48.00 box of white hots i cant return and a good chance they wont shoot for crap!!

i shot up 3 boxes without any misfires, hang fires or bullet tumbles. Very accurate, especially in my Accura with 3 pellets and a 245gr Powerbelt.

well i certainly hope i have no issues either! ill be trying them out for the first time on saturday morning to get my new cva sighted in.

but i have to say when almost 40% of the reviews ive read have been negative and probably another 20 or 25% in the "theyre just ok" category im not expecting to get rid of my pyrodex just yet.

but alas i am very hopefull!

make sure you mark your ramrod so you know if you get a crud ring or not.

I shot two boxes of these pellets. No misfires or hang fires. TC bone collector consistent 2inch groups off of front rest at 100 yards with TC Shockwave black sabots.

I shoot them in my Accura and get sub one inch groups at 100yds. Have not experienced any hang fires(I have with BH-209). I think it is just a dirty as tripple 7 and I do swab between shots, it does leave a crud ring. I will most likely drill out my flash hole on the breechplug to use BH-209 next year, but for this year I will stick with the white hots.
