[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2911128, member: 313"] The Hornady 250 MonoFlex averaged 1.75" @ 200 yds from my 1895SBl (18.5"), using the Barnes max charge weight of 1680. Velocity measured 2,300fps on my LabRadar. I consider that to be excellent accuracy from the levergun. Chest shots on deer will exit so I haven't recovered an expanded bullet for examination, but the deer don't go far. I'm interested in the 250SH and would like to see if the fly faster or flatter, and are as accurate as the pointy Hornady mono. A lot of guys have been using the Hornady 250 mono in their 458SOCOM rifles with good results. BTW - the Hornady 250 MonoFlex will require you to use shortened brass if you want them to cycle normally through an 1895 action. I just trimmed down 25 cases and leave them in a separate ammo box that clearly indicates, "SHORT BRASS" on the cover. [/QUOTE]
