[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2734980, member: 42157"] Yes, and no. It has always been much more than 3F. Sells for 43-50 for 10oz in our area. Is it better than 777....so subjective. For us it has been much better. Accuracy is better with less barrel maintenance and cleaning. You can shoot many shots with no swab between shots and bullet seating is the same. Slighty more FPS per equal load (-100fps). No affect from moisture leaving loaded in gun over 5-7 days. No moisture, corrossion after shooting and not cleaning immediately. I have about 500 Fury bullets sitting on the shelf. (Not for sale) I could not get them to size down properly or consistently. I even purchased a knurler to help with same inconsistent diameter results. I gave up and went to a Sabot instead of spending another 150 on a new sizer. We have eight MZ's for out hunting group. The major majority have best accuracy with Barnes TEZ. Some with power belt, and a couple with XTP's. Just like any gun they are all different and the only way to find out is try them. Try HTH sabots....lots of different thickness and design. Primers we use Federal and Winchester. I have used Federal, Winchester, Chedite, with all the versions and ignition just fine. Fed and Win accuracy is the same. Majority shoot Fed because that is what they started with. BH209 is not a smokeless powder. NEVER HEARD OF THIS EVER WITH BH209. I can get 2200 with a 300gr and 130gr charge 26" in several rifles. (Please no comments I'm a big boy and can make my own decisions.) [/QUOTE]
