Re: Savage PCS 300 BO

Went to the range today to see how well my PCS shot the 190 subs at 100 yards. Wow, accurate! Using my sandman-s, pretty much zero recoil. Love this pistol.

Re: 175 Sub-X initial testing

I have a sandman s that I will be using. Works great on sub sonic. Heck, shooting 110 v max full loads, could shoot without hearing protection but I wouldn't do it all day. Thanks for the reply.

Re: 175 Sub-X initial testing

Can you tell me how loud the crack on your loads (those above 1000) compared to a super sonic load? When I start reloading my 190’s, was thinking around 1200 fps for a little more umph at 100 yards provided the crack is soft compared to a super sonic full load.

Re: 190 subs

I need to find a cheap 190 gr bullet to use to test. These 190 subs cost to much to do load development. Any suggestions?

190 subs

Has anyone played with increasing velocity on the Hornady 190 subs? My 300 BO AR with a 10 inch barrel chrono 996 fps at 100 yards. If I read it right, minimum velocity to expand is 900 fps. Haven’t reloaded any yet since I have a fair amount of commercial on hand but was thinking to bump it up to a...

Re: Hornady 190 sub ?

I like how whisper quiet these sound. Been reading other forums on using these hog hunting but have my doubts reading about it. When these came out, I talked to hornady inquiring how good for hunting. Was told their test group did good deer hunting with them. Am still skeptical. So figured I would a...

Hornady 190 sub ?

Anyone shoot these at 100 yards? Looking for any info/pics of kills and recovered bullet at 100 yards. Broke in my savage PCS and haven’t decided on this bullet or my 110 Tac tx bullet. Appreciate any info.

Re: Savage PCS 300 BO

Got my PCS 300 BO to the range to break in yesterday. Shot indoor range, max 25 years. Shot my 110 V-Max reloads. After 5 rounds. pretty much cloverleaf on the rest. Can't wait to hit a 100 yard range. The good: so far, great shooter. The bad: the PCS does has some weight. Might go red dot to reduce...
