i tried some of those as well with the 100gr load and it was around a 4" group. They load pretty easy. I could try 120gr with them next time and see how the smooths do.

I never tried the Red CR but the Smooth short black with the 260gr in the NULA and the HPH-24 with a 300gr load the way i prefer. Both my current 50s are right at .500 so i doubt i could load a Red CR without a mallet. :D They should be about .508 loaded OD with a Harvester bullet and .509 with most other 45s.

The 300's shot very good in my TC PH with a black cr, 120gr of BH209, Win 209. Pretty decent recoil though.

MountainDevil54 07-16-2011 07:52 AM

yeah the even 260's have some good recoil to them with 120gr bh209.

builder, i hasnt a clue what sabots come with the shockwaves, remember, im a conical shooter! Sabots are still fairly a new subject for me.
