I also use the 300 gr. XTP with a crush rib sabot and B209 powder. I hunt in the timber and most shots are under 100 yards, usually about half that. I use 85 grs. by volume of Blackhorn. Very accurate and consistent, kills deer deader than Disco. Blackhorn is easy to work with. I don't swab between shots while sighting in and practicing, and clean up at the end of the season is a breeze. Hoppe's #9 and B209 crude wipes out easily.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
