Are Sable a Hard Hunt?

Just curious what load you were running?
Great looking sable by the way
I used a 225 grain TSX at 2750 FPS, it duplicates the Buffalo Barnes 225 TSX load.

At @Bob Nelson 35Whelen calls it my baby load and wonders why we didn't use CFE 223 and push that 225 TSX to 2900 FPS.

I’ve run the 225tsx at 2550-2600 for years and it’s never failed with varget.
I’m running the 225g northfork with cfe223 at 2650 this May and that’s just a midrange load but again never fails.
Those tsx bullets according to Barnes are good to 1600 fps for expansion so even at 2500 fps you basically can use it to 400 yds if you wanted

I still think you should bite the bullet and out your big boy pants on and try my loads.
I know you aren't recoil shy.
Give it a go mate

As Tim the tool man Taylor used to say more power.
Yes they may be fine to 400 and about 1600foe at that range but at my speed you get over 2,000 for and game is dead at 400 while your speed the bullet is still at 300 when mine gets to 400

Bullet traveled quicker= more power and dead sooner.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
