RE: GOEX PINNACLE FFg
I shot some clear shot out of my T/C Scout rifle using 348gr. powerbelts. I got some decent results and decided to use it as my hunting load. I shot a couple of times just before the hunt and found that the bullets were not staying stable and my accuracy had gone somewhat off. I had already decided on the load so I used it anyway. I managed to get a shot at a huge cow elk at about 80 yards and the powerbelt keyholed and went through the elk sideways. It passed through the center of the heart and lodged in the ribcage on the far side. When recovered the plastic aerotip was still in the bullet. CVA told me that the clear shot initial pressure rise rate was not sufficient to upset the base of the bullet and that was why the bullet keyholed. I think I poured it on the ground and set fire to it to get rid of it. Sold the Scout to buy an Omega; now I wish I had kept the Scout too.
