Default RE: Shooting the new Gold Dot

Thanks for the report, Sabotloader. It's amazing how much speed you are getting with only 80 grains of powder. I was loading 130 grains of Pyrodex pellets, and getting only 1924 fps. Not much increase in speed for a 50 grain increase in charge. This bullet has a lot of potential to have some great terminal performance on large game. I have only one elk tag left to fill. Will take the Omega in case one presents itself inside of 200 yards. Will post results if it works out. Regards. Roskoe.
