Re700ML 54cal, Hornady 325 gr, 458, flex tip - 10/19/14
I was able to shoot a 6 pt buck thurday night with this load at 90 yards.Load was 110grs T-7, with harvester sabot. This bullet shoots really ggod but it is tough to load with a 452. 54 sabot. The shot was quartering away. This is the first time this bullet did not exit, it broke the off side leg/shoulder. It was bulging under the hide just in front of the shoulder.The buck ran about 70 yards and was down. This is a tough bullet but an excellant option for 54 and 50 cal smoke poles. Hornady advised that this bullet will expand down to 1000fps. But if placed well that may not matter. I have not chronographed this load but it should be travelling in the 1500fps to 1700fps range. FYI, Blue
