No joke. First time I've ever had luck with a WTB add (local gun page not Rokslide) and been offered a good deal. I have another guy that has 1 lb that also said he would sell it for $45. I'm gonna grab it too.Play the freaking lottery man.

24.5-26.5 seems to be the range, I haven’t run up to 26.5 but at 26 I didn’t have any issues however the temps were cooler. I haven’t done a ton of testing with it yet but it will be my new go to powder once I’m out of TAC and 8208. I loaded 20 at 25g and 20 at 26g the grouping at 25g was within .1 of my 8208 loads but about 70fps slower, bumping to 26g only gained me 20fps but the group opened up to where I wasn’t thrilled so I didn’t bother with 26.5g.I'm seeing some people report up to 26grs with 77s. I was just curious because it's usually available and cheaper
Cause we don’t shoot magnums. Duh.Not sure why y'all are obsessed with the big boomers like the .223 rem. I hate meat damage so its just 17hmr with expoldy tips for me!

Listening to the podcast now and I agree that it’s garbage. The guide they have on as the guest is hard to listen to.Man the new episode of the hornady podcast is trash. They have some good info in there such as how their bullets work - VELOCITY and they give numbers for eldx, cx, and one other one - and not energy. Way too much fudd lore with magnum or bust. If it kills a deer it'll kill and elk. There is no such thing as an elk bullet vs a deer bullet.
You mind sharing how much lever?
Not that guy but I use the same app. Doubt it’s the sequence of the shots. When I mark impacts with it I just go in a circle like that.Do the numbered shots in this show the actual shot sequence? I ask because this is actually a really unusual group if that's the case. Very little variation shot-to-shot. The group just walks along shot to shot in a circle. Three more shots you'd have been back to where you started.
To follow up, did not get a chance to shoot the AAC 75 Sabre ammo in the RAR before the hunt so we used the factory Hornady 73 ELDM @ a muzzle velocity of 2534 fps. My daughter shot 2 whitetail does with the 73 ELDM ammo.My kids just got called and activated for a damage hunt on whitetail does for next weekend. I'm going to see how the AAC 75 grain Sabre Blade Black Tips shoot in the RAR and maybe get some data points for performance on game. That rifle is very accurate with the 73 ELDM ammo so we might be able to get some additional data points with that bullet too.

Billings had several for 619 a month ago 8 twist stainlessIt's at a Scheels, good luck on the scavenger hunt folks! Stainless even!
I looked when I was there last weekend and there were none at that price or I would have brought one home.Billings had several for 619 a month ago 8 twist stainless
I shared this deal with a friend who went to get one then but in the time from when I saw them to when he got there, they had changed it to only the blued version. I had a photo of the price tag at $619 but they wouldn’t honor it for my friend as that serial number had been sold. Hell of a deal while it was there!Billings had several for 619 a month ago 8 twist stainless
I snagged one of them, they said they had a few available I should have grabbed a couple of them. I traded in a shit 22 mag that I needed outta my safe and walked out for 419 bucks with a rail on itI shared this deal with a friend who went to get one then but in the time from when I saw them to when he got there, they had changed it to only the blued version.

Less penetration than a tmk or eld?The Sabres are a 75gr V-Max. So, expect heavy varmint bullet performance.
