With all the talk lately about these I decided to order a box of each, 250 & 300gr. I'll try the 250's in the Accura and the 300's in my Savage.

I'm going to Bass Pro in Springfield this weekend and I'm gonna pick up a box of the 300gr to try in my rifles.

Im curious how well they shoot in the Savage too. I hope the recessed (concave) base doesn't cause any issues with smokeless loads. The should be ok with powders that produce less pressure but book powders might spike a bit fast for them. I never seen anyone on Dougs show any groups with them. I want to try the 458-325gr Hot-Cor but i want to see the base first.

Gm54-120

I wonder why that might be... I have friend that shoots them from a 300 Win Mag with 4350 and 7828 and they are darn accurate. oh and deadly also..

The ONLY reason i mention it is because on Dougs i cant find a single person using them in the Savage. There might be a reason why such as blown sabots. Just slight variations in the bullet base design can make a huge difference. The new Barnes 195gr "flat base" vs "radius base" is a good example. The highly prefer the new flatter base Barnes.

Ya, I know years ago Randy Wakeman told me that the only bullet that will shoot accurately from a ML is a flat based bullet. He had zero luck with the Gold Dots of the time....

Thats really surprising too since the 250gr GD is one of the best shooting bullets ive tried and its not very powder sensitive in my guns. Anything from 80-110gr shoots great for me.

"since the 250gr GD is one of the best shooting bullets ive tried"

+ 1. Now going to try the .300gr.
Can't sleep at night waiting for deer season, in 9 months, 19 days, so many hours/seconds LOL.
