As suggested the 275 Bloodline is an excellent bullet - one of the best all-around do everything bullets... But for my self I do use the 300 grain 99% of the time mostly for the extra energy that it carries with it. Especially on a bad bull!

My Zero is 200 yds

Post by: Craig on June 20, 2014, 08:49:10 PM: I was shooting 300grain SST. They shot pretty good . Trying out some new 300 grain SST low drag sabots. Putting on a Williams peep site on to. See if that improves things a little bit more.
