500 Nitro

Years ago I thought I had stumbled onto the ultimate roo bombing load...220 Hornady flat noses in 378 but it turned out to be the most frustrating load I have ever had in any rifle.

We were playing at the range with them using reduced loads and just for fun loaded them up to full power. I can't remember the exact velocity but it was close to 3500 over the Oehler. To our total amazement the things grouped at 100 yards real well 1 to 1.5". So we tried a few more and then tried them from a clean cold barrel and then let the rifle sit for an hour or so to try one from a cold fouled barrel and it was in the group. Looking great.

Moved to the 200 yard target. Would you believe that somewhere between 100 and 200 yards they started coming apart. Some hit the target and some hit the ground. We could not see this shooting at 100 yards as the backstop is not far behind the targets.

Mike
