Guest deldeer Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 o.k., now i have been hearing alot of raving about the precision rifle dead centers, & im always looking for a new edge. would like to get some feedback on them. i would be using them in my .50 omega on 2-777 pellets,( to start).for deer. are they really worth the try?, can they be bought in the store or do i have to order them?, what grain would be good for deer size game?, i use 240xtp's now. thanks for the info.

Guest gt2003 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: precision rifle Deldeer, You've likely read my prior ml experiences in other posts. I shot the 300 grain XTP and 90 grains of pyrodex RS with no luck. Deer ran forever and a day. I had lost 2 deer with a ml and almost gave up ml. UNTIL, AJ told me about the precision rifle bullets so I bought some dead centers (220 grain), shot them with 100 grains of 777 and killed and recovered my first deer with a muzzleloader. It didn't run, just fell over dead. The entrance wound was about 2 inches wide and 4 or 5 inches long. INCREDIBLE. I don't think you would regret the change. I'm seriously considering carrying my ml during rifle season here in a week or so. Try some of them. You may try the 240 grain since thats what you shoot now. I doubt you would have to adjust much if any. Good luck and tell us what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gt2003 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: precision rifle BHB, the precision rifle bullets, QT's and dead centers, already come with sabots. I use what they send for my dead centers but I can't speak for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: precision rifle typically, Precision Rifle has a good sale around Christmas. I plan to get a decent order in to them and restock my supply of bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8shooter48 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: precision rifle I've never shot the Dead Centers but do shoot the QT 40's. The 235 gr. bullet shoots real accurate out of my gun, and was very effective on the buck I shot last year. I tried T/C Shockwaves and SST's the loading problems associated with them wasn't worth the money saved. I'll stick with the Precision Bullets.

DannoBoone1 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: precision rifle Never could get the DC's to group better than 2 1/2" in the Encore but have killed several with the 40/50 200gr DC. Got one with the 40/50 235gr QT. With either bullet all but one dropped in their tracks. The "one" was a shot I should not have taken, and took some tracking -- even at that, he got less than 100yds, but a 2d shot was required. This year for the 1st season I used the Savage. Because of speed limits of lead bullets, the 200SST was used (heard of too many problems with the 250 SST coming apart, while others had good success). It did take a LOT of time & patience but finally came up with a load she shot accurately with the 200's. The eight pointer never knew what hit him -- fell dead in his tracks!
