Default RE: New Frontier Beartooth magnum

chuckell my beartooth did not like the powerbelts or pyrodex at all. i thought there was something really bad going onwith my gun. but it was just the powerbelts. anything under 300 grains was terrible. i get really good groups with 80 or 90 grains of goex clearshot with a ball and patch at 80 yards with a 2-7 mounted on it.i also heard the 300 grain xtp do very good in these guns with loose powder. i would get the gun shooting good at 40 yards before i would move out to 100. i also heard that the pellets can be very uneven in weight. if it will not shoot with a 100grains of power there is no reason to add anymore. wow 150 grains that's alot of powder. never even took mine up that high before. go with some loose powder it is much easier to match your loads.
