So I went out and bought a couple 24 pks of Barnes 290 gun tez. After a lot of research on this forum I find these to be a good hunting bullet. I’m using 88 grains by weight of bh209 lot 39. This should be equivalent to 110 by volume of this lot. These load pretty stiff in my knight mountaineer but not excessive. I decided to get quite and bought some harvester black crush sabots. These load a little easier. Today I had time to go out and shoot 3 round’s quick because I was anxious to try them. Range was 80 yards. 2 shots nice holes and the 3rd went in sideways. This was in a piece of pressboard not paper. When I can I’m going to try them with the supplied blue sabots. Would the looser fit cause this or is there another issue I should address. My load should be plenty fast enough. Thanks in advance for your thoughts
