Win94, Speer 130gr FN, 400 Yards
In my last video I shot 350 yards with the 150gr SST. The next day, on the same sight setting, I tried a Speer 130gr FN to compare. The Speer hit 24 inches higher than the SST.
It didn't make for interesting video...
So today, 3 days and 25ºF later, (deer season kept me from shooting,) I dialed-in 2.5moa down, then extended my range 50 yards to 400 yards, hitting an 8 inch target solidly, (473ft-lbs, (a bit more than my 357 hunting load at the muzzle.))
At around 450 yards this load goes transonic, whereas accuracy fails.
This load is what I prefer to have loaded in my tube magazine.
When there is a "special purpose;" I'll load the SSTs singly.
...
This video at 10X zoom makes it easier to see the bullet's path. Although; in the right conditions, the bullet path would be seen at the 4x zoom my last few videos were shot at.
