Default RE: 250grain Shock waves VS 270Grain Powerbelts

ORIGINAL: gl79149

Well I Thought I had it all figured out...Began shooting 250 grain Shockwaves with 3 777 pellets and getting decent groups 1.5" to 2" groups at 100 out of my omega...I thought I could do better,so I tried the 270 grain powerbelts...Cloverleaf groups at 100 yds all day long every day...unbelievable...Beautiful...So I go to the 200 yd range today to see how the powerbelts fly at longer distances...Horrible, no sign of any group shots all over the paper at 200 yds...my friend suggests I try the shockwaves again, to make aLong story short...3 bullseyes out of 5 shots at 200 yds with the shockwavesafter I made a quick scope adjustment to accomodate shooting the lighter 250 grain shockwaves... My question to all the seasoned vets here is. Wouldnt it make sense that the bullet that gives you the tightest groups at 100 yds would be your best bullet for farther downrange accuracy? Im sticking with the shockwaves....
The shockwaves have better ballistic coeficent. Bullets with betterballistics will hold better groups further out.
