...INFO FOR THE PARKER BALLISTIC EXTREME SHOOTERS.......

[hawgslayer]

Had a chance to try the new Parker REFINED Ballistic Extreme 275'ers and here is how it worked out. All the targets on the left were shot with the Harvester E-Z LOAD Sabats and the targets on the right were with the HARVESTER CRUSHED SABOTS..... Here's the pics. The new bullet is a little different in design and are made with a different alloy.
I shot 6 rds at 25 yards, 6 at 50 and 6 or so at 100 yards. You can see how tight they were at 25, (that target on the right at 25 yards is 3 shots in the same hole. I love the crushed sabots), and then you can see how they started to open up a little.
My V2 is zeroed in at 100 yards with the OLD PARKER 275 GR'ERS.

I would use these bullets for hunting and all it would take is a little tweeking with my scope and they would all be right in there. I'm going to stick to the OLD 275's for this season since I have a ton of them.

Rumor is that Parker increased the OD to accommodate the sabotless 45 shooters with slightly larger bores.

The originals also have a very flat base which helps in a sabot but doesn't seem to matter much sabotless. Im pretty sure both versions have a pure lead core but the jacket may be a harder alloy on the new ones.

I have a bunch of original 275s so i wont be trying the new 275s for quite awhile. They shoot great in my NULA with the Harvester Smooth and MMP Short.

Good Shooting and Welcome aboard.

Never used Parker bullets - in fact I have never heard of them but from the grouping displayed they certainly appear to have potential. I am always looking for an excuse to shoot. I may try them along with the Harvester crushed sabot.

Can you tell me what powder you are using? Thanks for an interesting post.

It is hard to beat a Parker 275 grain. They shoot well in all my fast twist rifles.
