First time doing this please bear with me ;D As you can see that first shot was way high, for all the shots i was aiming at the center of the green dot gunny

Nothing wrong with either of those groups.

Not shabby at all. From one of these loads you now can have a good baseline load to reference when things appear to go wrong. Then again this may not remain your baseline load when a better consistent load is found from experimenting.

67gr h4198 and 300gr looked the best.... clean between shot's? How is the recoil on that load?

The Mod Rem come from Smokeeter. What i don,t get is the flyer 4" high after i fired the shock waves! I don,t think i Jerked it The recoil is stout without my Outfitters Ridge sled. Piece of cake in the sled ;D One thing i did notice it tore all the petals off the orange mmp .458 sabots,but i only found one out of the four laying on top the snow. 12pt i did not clean between shots. The Shockwaves with supplied sabot went down the barrel with one finger,not good,but still not a bad group gunny

The Rem's are hard to beat for the price @3/$1. I had the best accuracy using 68grs Re7 with everything else the same as you are using. Good Shooting!

Gunny..............Looks good! Have you not tried the black crush ribs with those Remmy's? For me? The orange mmp's were always too loose. I gave all I had away ;D. If you have some N-110 or 5744, try a duplex with 10 gr. of either of those two powders under 60 gr. of H-4198 with those 300 gr. bullets. You should be getting right around 2460 fps with good accuracy (hopefully) 5744 might drop you down maybe 25 fps slower than N-110. Both gave good accuracy in my .50. And, as you can see from the traces, the duplex should give you less pressure/recoil than a single powder equivalent. Richard

Great start. Not uncommon to tear petals off the orange MMP sabot. This sabot has the thinnest petals of any typically used. As long as the bases are in good shape losing petals is ok. Try the Harvester Black Crush Rib sabot.
