Where are you guys ordering from ?

Seems everyone is out of stock or not shipping ML to NY

I can't find those Barnes XPB .451 200 gr in stock anywhere online right now.  Did order some Crush Rib sabots from Cabelas.  

Glad I stocked up on BH209 last year, because thats impossible to find right now too.

Good bullets are hard to come by, have you tried hornady 300gr xtp 

In stock

That bullet had probably killed more game then any other bullet being made.  Big fan myself will work just fine in that crush rib sabot .

That's the mag, many prefer that.  Flip a coin or gets what's available.

I actually do have a big box of the hornady 300 gr, I also have some 275 gr of the barnes xpbs as well, the 200 gr were shooting mighty flat with 100 gr by volume of the bh209 between 50 / 100 / 150.  THe other bullets performed very consistently, just naturally with more drop.  I'm a lousy hand at telling the difference on the fly between 100 and 150+ so that would be my preference.
