Boy am I dumb! My last post I was talking about my outing with the Scout SML and the differences in groups with the 300 gr SSTs over the last time out. Well I went back and was checking my records and the 300 gr SSTs were sized and used in my Knight .45 Moutaineer. I was using 250 FTX bullets in my Scout. Heck I even ordered the Furys in 300 grain! Rats...now I'm undecided if I should order 250 or 275 gr Furys. I think I'll hold off until the next outing and run the 250 FTXs again and see how they do.
I guess I'll try the 300 Furys in the Mountaineer with BH209. I was going to go out today but it looks like it could rain any minute and its really blowing out there.
Encore, I ran the 250s through the sizer a couple more times to remove all the bounce back. That should be a total of 5x through the sizer. I found what I believe to be my ideal bullet diameter is - right at .451" (measured with a micrometer not a dial caliper for better accuracy).
