Default Wolf loads?

I have my Omega pretty well dialed in...but have not found the best load for my wolf. I also haven't shot it a bunch. I must also disclose that I am not very adept at using "search" feature on forums like this. Can you wolf owners please remind me which load you like best? Someone recently said they were "4 for 4 (whitetails)" with their wolf on another thread. What are you using? Thanks.

I am 2 for 2 with mine. I am shooting the 295 grain hollow point Powerbelt, with 80 grains of 777 loose powder. I am using the Winchester Primers.

300gr Barnes Expander MZ, black Harvestor Crushed Rib sabot, 2 Pyrodex 50gr pellets, and a Winchester W209 Primer. But what works well in my Wolf may not work well in yours. Just have to keep trying different combinations. Good Luck

Been shooting the 245 gr. Powerbelt with two 50 gr. Pyrodex pills and the Win. 209 primer. Shoots good for me. Only shot one deer so far with it, but it dropped it like a bad habit. May try the 295 Powerbelts, since I see others on here like them. Just thought 245's were enough, plus they shoot OK in my Wolf.... ( A black'n too)...

THe 245 will do the job very well! If that is working for you, stick with it.
