Default Harvester Scorpion 260 gr.

Anyone have any hunting experience with these? Saw them on sale this weekend packed with the Harvester Crush Rib Sabots. Toby Bridges has some writeups on them on his site, but being that he is sponsored by them, may have to take that endorsement with a grain of salt.

Bullet would be used on Iowa whitetails at ranges out to 200 yards and fired out of a CVA Kodiak.

Since we're on the topic of bullet selection, how about Buffalo SSB's in 285 or 325 grains?

I shot off a pack of them Scorpions once just for fun as I remember. I do not even remember what rifle I was shooting at the time, but I think it was my Black Diamond XR. They were on sale, so I grabbed a pack and shot them off. I must not have been too impressed with them. I see no notation in my book about them.

As for the buffalo bullet SSB the only ones I had any luck with for accuracy are the 375 grain. Now I know that is a big chunk of lead, but they really fly great, and anything down range is in for a very bad day. Although shooting 200 yards like that... I hate to even suggest a bullet. If I had to shoot that distance I would be looking at a Parker Extreme or a Shockwave I think. Although I shot some of my Nosler Partition at 100 yards a while back. Talk about sweet shooting, and holding a tight group. They might also be a LONG distance bullet, but I seldom shoot over 100 yards, so even a roundball works for me...
