Hi Chuck7,

Thats alot of powder under a 295 PB. You need to be ready for the bullet to shred with so much powder. Certainly not a problem for a double lung shot but others have complained (i suspect maybe shoulder shots?). Interestingly, most report pass-thru's when using 100 grains or less.

If flat trajectory is the objective for more range, I would use ajacketed bullet (ie an xtyp) if sabots are legal where you hunt, that is, if you intend to use 150 grains of powder. Bullet will hold together much better fer ya.
