Ok, with my CVA Buckhorn, I use 250 grain real bullet over 80 grains 777. The reason for the 250 reals is I have a good supply of soft lead on hand and cast my own. The bullet being much cheaper then sabot and bullet I can shoot a lot more. At 100yds can keep shots inside 3 in. sometimes a bit better. Since I have never messed with power belts or sabbots I'm curious, what kind of 100yd. groups can ya'll get with the bullet you use?

My groups normally run between one inch and one and a half inches for saboted loads. This is with three inlines; a H&R Sidekick, a Traditions Pursuit XLT, and an Optima V2. Normal load for all three is 100 grains by volume/BH 209 and saboted 250 gr. Hornady SSTs, 260 Harvester Scorpion PT Gold, and 300 grain Hornady XTPs. If the group goes to 2 inches, it was my fault.

I can do between 1 and 1 1/2 inch with 250 Barnes T-EZ or 250 grain Hornady SST's at 100 to 150 yds if I do my part. I did have trouble finding a load that would work well in the T/C and went through a number of different bullet types.

With my 24" NEF Sidekick and no wind I have been able to keep PR's 200 grain Dead Center Lead bullet with sabot in a 3" bullseye @ 200 yds.
if I do my part. My sons 26" Sidekick does not do quite as well. Really like the accuracy of the PR lead bullets.

@ 100 yds groups can be in the 1 1/4" range with the 24".

This is using Blackhorn 209 at 120 grains by volume (84grs.by weight) Using a Federal 209A primer.

Had some problems with my BH 209 taking on moisture this year and it gave me some challenges till I was able to figure it out.

777 Always fouled so badly that I had to clean my barrel after 2 shots.Blackhorn 209 allowedme to keep shooting waaaaaaaay longer. Shot as many as 20 shots in a row with it.
Cleans up great with Ballistol.

Here's mine....open barrel sights and PRB at 100 yards.

100yd by Sharps Man, on Flickr

Two shots at top were when I was learning how much front sight not to hold.

I have a traditions pursuit pro. 100 gr of 777 and hornady pistol bullet (245 gr) in hornady sabot I get approx 2 inch groups.

Thanks for the reply's on my post. Might be worthwhile trying to very my charge a bit and see if I can do better. I also have a mold for the 320gr. Lee Real may try them also. A 3in. 100yd would be about a 6in. group at 200. A 200yd. shot in my deer woods would be rare, but certainly possible. I wouldn't consider it with current load, maybe 150yds. my max.

My best in line was a TC Omega that shot 3/4 MOA. All the rest shot between 1” and 1&1/2” at 100 yards. My current gun is a Pac-Nor barreled SML. It shoots sub half MOA. I’d be happy with any factory ML that shoots an 1&1/2” at 100 yards.

Ok, well, that's not fair. Sharpsman has the eyes of 16 year old and, being retired, can ALL day. You are a crazy good shot with irons.

My Knight Shoots 1 to 11/2” groups with 250grain Barnes expanders and 3 pellets (150grains). Devastating on game. I’ve shot a number of other combos and never found anything as reliable. The sabots take some effort to load but that seems to be the key for my rifle.

I just switched over to the Hornady 250gr Monoflex bullet, this year in my T/C Encore ML. On my first outing I was shooting a 2" group, with no tweeking (100gr of FFg).
My eyes suck these days but, with some work I know I could probably get under 1.5" if I really put in the range time. But I never get shots over 100 yards where I hunt, so its not a priority at the moment.
