Original Wolfhound:
It was a .45 cal using 110 gr of 777 and a 275 gr Powerbelt. It still was overcharged since CVA/Winchester rifles have a 100 gr Max charge of loose powder. It's only the pellets you can use 150 gr.
You bet it was overcharged. This kind of thing is down right ridiculous. Furthermore, I woundn't put three pyrodex pellets in _ANY_ .45 cal unless its barrel was made of steel suitable for smokeless powder. People do really stupid things, this is just an example of that.
Happy Hunting, Phil
