Default Tradition Tracker 209..help what load?

Was shooting sabots not to bad, but ran out, so I decided to go with buffalo bullets.Can not get them to hit paper at 100yd?One brand I was using would group ,a second brand isn' t.And that' s a new box I just bought!!So just wondering what people are using in their tracker?Any opinions on loads welcome...

That rifle' s shallow button rifling won' t shoot tight groups with those old fashioned conicals at 100+ yard ranges.

Buy the little longer length sabot bullets. Some inexpensive ones are T/C Shockwaves in 250/300 grain, Harvesters 240/300s or the 245/295 Powerbelts.

I seriously doubt the OP who asked that 10 years ago really cares now.

Aw Sharpshooter, you never know.

Maybe 30yd-max has been patiently sitting by his computer with a never ending supply of beer, nachos, and pizza - hoping for just one more reply to his thread.

Yea, you are right. I shouldn't be so pessimistic
