Since I got my Harvester order in this evening I decided to grab the Apex, 110gr Blackhorn209 and the 300gr Harvester Scorpion PT Golds with Hrvester E-Z Load " Black Smooth" Sabots.

Took my first shot, made adjustments and then took 3 more. I just laughed out loud after the last shot because I couldn't believe I nailed the perfect load the first time out of the box.

I did cheat though, I left my Caldwell tack driver bag rest out in the rain and so its stiff until the sun comes out to bake it soft again, so that left me with my FCX lead sled. I haven't shot off of it in MONTHS believe it or not. My head sure appreciated it though! No headaches today for a change.




 
Got out today first at 150 yards and then went to 100 yards where I could set up my chronograph. It was set out at 10 feet.

110gr Blackhorn209
300gr PT Gold with E-Z load sabot
CCI 209M primer
10 minutes between shots to keep bore cool and consistent.

2014-2022-2023 = 2019 FPS Avg.

It was n ice to see that there was only Aprox. 1" of drop from 100 yards to 150 yards.


 
I've had tag soup a few times. Never did acquire a taste for it. Yucky tag soup.

So do you use the Apex during the regular rifle seasons?

It's 50 caliber I presume?
 
Never used it rifle season yet. Last year up in Buena Vista my dad used it. I had to shim the [beeep] out of the sights because the stock is made up for scope use only. It works, thats why i use high mounts and pushed the rear sight all the way up, once those sights are on, Im not removing them period!
 
Well heck, let's see what you can do with it at a 100 and 150 yards with the iron sights and a projectile you can actually use during the ML big game season.

The scope and the fancy bullets in sabots is cheatin.

haha believe it or not, 100gr bh209, 250 Thor will do 1 1/2 - 2" with open sights. I mainly shoot open sights, especially with my 58cal Hawken. Best load out of the hawken grouped 1 1/8" @ 100. Still have to work on the 200 yard load for it though.
