So me being new to ML, I will ask.Yoursaying Iwould be better off instead of usinga 245 grain Powerbelt areotip with 2 50gr Pyrodex pellets to switch to maybe a 295gr areotip and maybe less powder? Play around with the loose powder 80-95gr or so? Thanks
This is just my opinion and I am certainly not an authority, but if you don have to shoot power belts - don't. There are far better bullets out than than a PB, both more expensive ones and ones far less expensive. If you are in state that does not allow sabots and regular jacket bullets, then I might consider a PB, but even then if you are gong to shoot a full bullet there are some awful good conicals out there thatwill out perform a PB.

The major reason people shoot PB's in an ML is because they load easy. That is just not a valid reason anymore to shoot them. They are also a great way to begin shooting - expensive but easy to learn with - same for pellets.... but I would suggest to you as soon as you can make the jump away from pellets and PB's you will open a whole new world in shooting a ML...

Good luck on what ever you do - just have fun....
