That bullet/powder combo has been suggested to me on more than one occasion. Sounds like that is one load I am gonna try.Bronzeback said:295 Aerotip Powerbelts and 90gr.(settled) of 2F BP.
This is my load as well. I have not tried the powerbelts yet, but plan to for next season. I'm going to stick with the PBR for the rest of the SRA season since I feel comfortable with it.ZacPAbowhunter said:WHen i use to have a firestorm, i found that round balls with 90g of 3 F was the most accurate for me.. I still wish i had that gun.
That is exactly what I shoot...dpms said:Whats your projectiles of choice that you have found to be accurate with the 1/48 twist? Gonna be spending some time this summer and looking for some options. I have been shooting the Maxi-Hunters behind 90 grains of 2F.
Bronzeback said:295 Aerotip Powerbelts and 90gr.(settled) of 2F BP. Seat the Powerbelt firmly on the powder but no need to pound it down. I run a spit patch after every shot. Five shot group at 75 yards of just under 2".....Yep, it's that accurate. The biggest issue that I've found with people shooting any muzzleloader is that many are not very good at shooting with open sights. It takes a lot of practice, but open sights can be deadly accurate at surprisingly long ranges.
