If that is an accurate load, you should have no problem with that load.. good luck.

You guys from the DWB site are going to scare off the new guy. Seriously; I thought the one under the counter was the better choice but she had a cigar.

Those are supposed to be a real good gun. I am sure it will serve you well. Good luck with your rifle.

i pretty much just shoot powerbelts and sight dead on @ 100 yards with a 295gr AT powerbelt with 80gr pyrodex RS, this shoots 7" low @ 150. Easy to remember that if its at 150yards, just put the sights or cross hairs right on top of its back and say Goodnight as you squeeze the trigger.
