is there anything wrong with this load anything i should change etc.

If you are gonna use a PB, take broadside bow shots, nothing else. Shoot low charge, like 80g. My recommendation is get another bullet, Nosler Partition, Harvester SaberTooth, XTP, ShockWave, almost anything. Do NOT shoot over 100 yardswith that load. I assume you mean 2 50g sticks not just 1. Best Wishes. Chap Gleason
