Oh PS. Yes I'm in the 50 and under group. Please make it yds though cause the extra 4 yds if it was metres would be too much

I take back everything I said. I'm sure it'll be a laser
You really don't pay much attention do you? My build will be sabot less.... .458 Full Form bullets in a .45 cal barrel. Do you understand? The other coming will be .358 again sabot less. That means no sabot .358 bullet in a .35 cal barrelQuote:

For the record though I have owned 5 saboted smokeless ML that would hold MOA to 200 yards.
You really are a sour SOB.Quote:

That's the point of going sabotless. To get away from the plastic sabot. Why don't you try out that google thing and have a gander. Lots if guys are doing this and have been for a while. MOA at distance is possible with the right load ans equipment.Quote:

Whether you can hit jack or not (pardon the pun) you guys in GTA get projectiles flying the distances your 30/06's you now can't use flew you may loose them too
It is definitely a concern. I use a 243 and 270 for yote here and the 243 is pushing a 58 grain pill close to 3900 fps as per the chrony. 270 is throwing 110 vmax somewhere around 3300 fps if I remember right. Only difference is if those bullets hit anything they go to pieces. A lot of guys just use sp ammo though so I don't see much difference safety wise with those.Quote:

My ultimate goal is to send a pill to 300 accurately using a DOA scope. All my rifles do this well and I have some excellent accurate loads to accomplish the task. Just can't use them for deer!
This is my last try at ML 300 yard game. If these two won't cut it, I'll simply go back to the 220 bolt and be comfortable at 200 yards knowing that's my limit.
I don't live in the GTA or anywhere near. I have two muzzleloading weeks. Thats why I bought my junk Savage. I want to make the most of my hunting time and maximize my chances of filling my tag. Why use a muzzleloader unless you have to. Unless you are a traditionalist theres is no point. Might as well use a 30-30 for a quick follow up shot when your 'brush cutting' round hits a twig and takes out a deer's back leg. It's a myth!
