My seasons are over. 110 gr of Backhorn in the 50 cal MK85 with a Barnes 250 gr MZ for antelope and 110 gr of Blackhorn in the 54 cal MK85 with a 275 Barnes MZ for cow elk. Both dropped where they stood. Couldn't ask for better bullet performance.

Never used the Sierra on game yet but they shoot really well sabotless in the Super DISC. Expansion should be pretty intense though. The jacket is thin and the lead is soft.

 

[rlbollinger]

75 gr. (Wt.) BH209 Hornady .44 xtp 300 gr. ,green crush rib Winchester w209 primer- CVA Accura v2

 

[sabotloader]

For deer, a 200 grain 40 caliber XTP in a crush rib , driven by 70 grains of 3f Swiss. Velocity from my Black Diamond Super 45 XR, 1800 fps. For bear, a 357 caliber 180 grain XTP in an MMP, over 60 grains of 3f Swiss. Guessing on the velocity, but that charge gave a 180 40 cal 1750 fps. Good luck to all! Tag early and often.

This year during rifle season I will be using a Knight Ultra Lite, shooting 120grs. of T7-2f ignited by a Remington 209-4 primer. The bullet will be the new Lehigh .452x265 gr. all-copper HP. in a MMP HPH-24 sabot. I will use this same load for both Whitetail and elk (elk if I could... In Idaho during ML season I am required to use a full bore lead conical - we are still lost in yesterday). I know it is way more than I need for Whitetail deer but the bullet fly's so well and with the weight will be less effected by mother natures existing conditions.

You can see it here compared to a Barnes Expander...



This is the first target I shot with this new bullet... + the velocities that were achieved...



I have used an estimated BC computed on the Barnes calculator to construct this ballistic chart.

 

[Bluedevil]

I have 2 deer tags and an antlerless Moose tag in the same zone so my load is:

T/C Omega
Barnes 290gr TEZ
77gr (weighed) Blackhorn 209
