Range session a couple of days ago. Shot two different bullets out of a
T/C .50 Omega. First load Precision Rifle extreme elite 260 grain, second
load Barnes TEZ 290 grain. Both loads were fired using 110gr 777 loose
powder, winchester 777 209 primers, swabbing betweed shots with T/C
#13. Both bullets were fired using the supplied sabots, orange for the
extreme elite and blue for the barnes. Both bullets averaged 1 inch groups at 100 yards, but the extreme elite had the occasional flier. No
fliers with the barnes bullets. On loading I noticed that the extreme elite
loaded very easily, I could have pushed it down the barrel with two fingers
easily. The barnes was a snug fit, not loose, or difficult to load. Talked to
Precision Rifle and they said that the loose fit would not be a factor in
accuracy where the bullet obturates when fired. It was loose enough that
I would be uncomfortable hunting with it. I have got a lot of great info
on this site and would appreciate a few opinions. dd
