Forgot to mention SAbotloader.I am hoping the 300 gr DC's will be accurate out to 200 yds, if not Barnes bullets here i come lol.i really need a bullet out west here that is accurate at longer distances. the .250 gr DC has proved to be accurate. as is the .250 gr Barnes TEZ bullet.i am in the heavier bullet corner still when it comes to say 150- 200 yd shots..can always practice with the Dc's and hunt with the barnes bullets.

I have shot the 300 DC's tp and beyomd the 299 yard mark. They do really well. I am OK with the 250-260 class bullet to 175 yards but even at 175 and beyond I really like the 300, although I would shoot the .458/275 grain Lehigh all day through the whole range 0f 10 to 200 yards....

With the 300gr DeepCurls, using the Harvester long black sabot gives me better accuracy out of my Omega X7 than using either the short blacks or the crush ribbed sabots, but man, they are tough to load. I don't know if I would used them in the field since I have to really lean on my range rod to get them down.

If you can load them ok in your Triumph, they should be great.

Ray, I have shot them from my Triumph, I use the regular Orange MMP HPH-.47-.458/50 sabot. But remember that i have ran the JB process on my bore. If you can load a .452/300 in a regular black HPH or Harvester - you should be able to load the orange and the .458

Don't some people use the Crushed rib 451-452 sabot to load the .458 bullets? Ray
