BBS 41 Mag. and 210gr xtp's

Post by Vaquero » Sat Oct 29, 2022 8:52 am

Okay, I've had this one since early '17 when they first came out, sn is under 250.๐Ÿ˜‰
In all this time I have never shot a jacketed bullet through it until a couple days ago.

So this was a new adventure, I asked and got a couple ideas from a couple of members as to where I might start.
Thanks Hatch and Tom. I only tried two loads of H110, and may try some more later.
Looks like for now 18.0 grs of 2400, or 9.5 grs of unique will get the nod. The unique load is a tad less recoil and about as accurate.
Shooting from the picnic table, which is right at 55 yds. to the berm.

That 2400 load looks killer with the XTP. Those XTP bullets just seem to shoot great no matter caliber! How do your cast bullets compare as far as group and POI?

Forty, been a while since I shot any of the 210 cast, but I got some good comparable results.
Been playin with those heavy 270gr cast, and I haven't found what I'm looking for with them as of yet.
I know it can as I shot a nice ragged hole with some 250 gr Cor bon ammo a couple years back.

Agree forty. Those 2400 loads look pretty consistent. Good load that 18.0gr is.
