Yes, Rifleman-- on the .458 Barnes Original

[Anonymous]

I shot all afternoon-- it is supremely accurate, 10 shots into one hole. Have not confirmed the BC, but-- it is obviously good by reading the windage.

The bullet is conventional design, and the recovered bullets from hard earth at 125 yards all had core separation. The MMP orange .458 / 50 sabot loads like a dream. This bullet is going pronghorn hunting without question.

Actually, I'm a bit surprised a large number of people have not made it here already-- the link is right on your "Announcements" on the old board. :idea:

What bullet exactly

Randy,

What was your load and approximate velocity? How much N120?

Cool Beans Randy I knew it ole Grouse had it pegged! I bet the x bullet would shoot good too. Thanks for the tip and the pie is done and in the freezer. I suppose by now you got my phone message and called my wife and chatted her up while I was at work,

Randy, how long did you have to wait between shots or was heat not and issue with this sabot?

IMO Heat is an issue with any Sabot.

RW- Were you shooting the flat nose or semi-spitzer Barnes original .458 bullet? Were they the 300 grain bullets?

Tell you what-- if you like, have MMP ship whatever you order to me. I'll mail them to you. When you get them, send me whatever postage is on the box.

It may sound a bit clumsy, it is-- but, it will get you your sabots. :wink:
