I need to amend this list...



I would take the Barnes and the Lehigh off the list - they both need velocity.

So I am back to the Speer 40/180 Deep Curl and adding the Hornady 40/200 grain XTP - probably using the Harvester 5040 CR sabot - Blue Crush rib

Both of these bullets will open very well at lower velocities... the bif difference the Deep Curl is bonded the Hornady is not - but it is still a very good bullet.

Both of these reduce recoil significantly and possibly to the point you might even boost your powder load.... + you get a 100 bullets per box at a really decent price.

What is your current powder load - for yourself?

My current load is 100 grains of Pyrodex Select FFG.

Thanks again to everyone for the information. I ordered almost everything that has been suggested and will see what the most accurate combination will be.

Sorry if my replies are a little short. I am posting from my mobile.

Thank you all,

Michael

I have them ordered and will try them out. Thanks for the advice. I will be shooting the Barnes EZs tomorrow.

some Grown men cant even do that!

Thank you sir, the compliment is very much appreciated. The little guy is obsessed with hunting and accuracy. He is not happy with his results but I could not be more proud of him.
