Default RE: 200-yard Performance: Attainable?

Here's the thing about shooting 200 yds, and trust me I've extensively studied this. You can do it, but the best way to do it will be with 150 grains of powder.

Here's the thing about 150 grains of powder: Most guys claim they shoot it which they might, but the thing is, they are probably not burning all of that powderin their barrell by the time the bullet leaves the barrell.

This is the way to do it: To shoot 150 Grains of powder in pellett for you MUST shoot Triple 7- Here's the thing: Shoot the 30 grain pelletts. Shoot 5 of the 30 grain pellets, not 3 fifties.

The reason behind this is because with five thirties they will all burn because there is more space inbetween the powder pellets so the ignition will light all of the powder by the time it leaves the barrel.

If you use the three fifty grain pellets they don't all get completely fired. We've chrono'd our guns, (I shoot a t/c encore) and the five thirties show 100-130fps increase. You should be able to get close to 2400 fps, maybe not quite but close. Make sure you use the triple 7.

Happy hunting
