[QUOTE="sw282, post: 1737707, member: 93980"] Shot 221Furball last weekend the first time with some old factory Remington Green/Yellow box 50gr SP ammo... Not impressive at all with groups measuring a hair under 1.70'':-( Really sorry groups compared to my PD loads @ .28'' with a 35gr Berger and 4227 powder... Anyway the RUT is now on in Lower South Carolina. Thinking of trying my Furball on a Doe. l found a box of Hornady 60gr Soft Points in my bullet stash. Even found some load data for them in Hornady Load Manuel 3rd Edition.. Fastest loads listed are with Win680 and Hercules RE7 [USER=83768]@2500FPS[/USER] from an XP100 10''barrel. An extra foot of barrel on my 700 VLSF 22'' barrel should add 400-500fps.. Hornady#3 makes it a point of saying the 60gr SP is just as accurate as lighter bullets... IMR 4227 is listed as 100ft slower @2400fps/10'' barrel. Don't have any Win680. l do have its replacement in some AA1680 tho, along with 4227... Will load some up and shoot at my Friday range session... ln they meantime l will see about finding some 60gr Nosler Partitions. They are absolutely DEADLY on deer too!! [/QUOTE]
