RE: Reusing a bullet
This was the 120 gr load [I also tried 125 gr but that spread the group]
Any of them would work fine for hunting but my personal tests with the SW 250 gr inclined me to believe that it works best for deer at about 2100 or 2200 fps and there are spots and accasions that I need to shoot over 200yds a little bit. By using this load my particular gun gives the best accuracy at 200 yds so I sighted it to shoot 3 inches high at 100 and it shoots 4 inches low at 200 and is dead on at 170. So some of this is just personal needs and preferance. Lee

Dove-tailing off of the BH209 corrosion topic from earlier, can you reuse a bullet after pushing out a load? I've read that the sabot isn't reusable (no problem there) but never saw the bullet specifically addressed. Thanks in advance!!!!!
