Why the Harvesters... the good groups you posted before were with the MMP sabots... Those were the ones you were shooting at 2500 fps with 140 BH...

Wish you had shot one group with the MMP...

I actually thought it was strange that bullet kept hitting in the same spot From 2300fps to 2500fps. But very accurate it is. I would like to put the BDC reticle scope on the 45. I cant hold in the same spot with the regular scope. The BDC circle is the same size as the target at 200yards. That makes it alot easier to shoot at 200yards.

MMPTan sabot did shoot the tightest group with the 45 in February. MMP sabots are $8.50 and Harvester's are $4.47. Sorry maybe next time.

Well... that is a pretty good reason - you are always trying to be thrifty - but good!

The 185grn bullet is on the web-site and on sale for those that are interested.

The price is $40.00 bucks and that includes delivery. That is a great price while it lasts.

Good shooting. Will they be available with a plastic tip? Lee

I have not shot them with tips yet. I'm actually afraid the tip might keep the bullet from performing the way it's supposed to. If you get some of these bullets let me know. I will send you some tips to test on paper with them.

Dave, back in the early 1970's National Muzzle Loading had a group testing a number of ballistic items that were going to be put in there manuel, one of those was the minimum energy that would efficiently take whitetail deer.
What they came up with is 800ft pounds. I personally believe that there are other things that enter into it as I have stretched my 54 beyond that point and still drop them on the spot. hitting the right spot is in my opinion the most critical thing. Lee

lemoyne,
I was told a 22 short has more energy then a recurve Bow on game. There were a heck of alot of animals killed with recurve Bow's. Shot placement and bullet design play a huge factor as well.
