Default How Can This Be????


We have a Hawkins MZ in .50 cal. We are shooting 385grn Great Plains Hornady Bullets. Now according to the stats if you sight in at 100yds with 100grns of powder to dead on you should drop 9" at 150yds & 25" at 200yds. We are shooting 110grns of powder instead. It's dead on at 100yds open sights. It is still dead on at 150 yds & only drops off 6" at 200yds. Don't see how it can maintain such velocity. But we've shot it many times & it's always the same! Good thing too, otherwise we would've went by the statistics, which aren't even close!
