chapman and cayguard(or anybody)--what are your opinions of using 223gr powerbelts as opposed to using 250-300 gr bullets? do lighter rounds perform better on deer? im probably going to shoot 100gr pyrodex. most of my shots are under 75 yards. im open for any suggestions--im no bp ballistic freak.
From what I have read here and the fact that a long shot here in Indiana is a 100 yards, I am sticking with 300g for deer season. I get better groups from my optima with 300g vs 250 as well.
Chap....I am giving the shockwaves a try tomorrow with their yellow sabots. If mine groups like yours did in that pic....I might have some xtps for sale! Nice shooting there!
