Default RE: New gun Help

ORIGINAL: Michigan_Redneck

Had a CVA staghorn .. decided to upgrade to the new CVA wolf. Dad...my uncles and everyone around hereshoots the 245 grain powerbelts with 100grain loads and loves them. I am shooting the 295 with 100grain to slow the bullet down more. i have read both really good and really bad about themand everything between. was wondering if anyone has had better luck with the platinum series or if there are better bullets that shoot better out of my particular gun. i really dont want to switch because these things shoot awesome i can hit a quater at 50 yards ... but i want to be fair to the deer to ... i refuse to shoot past 75 yards.. just my preference... but looking for ideas.. opinions... or whatever people would like to give me thanks

If those are the leaded Powerbelts, I would suggest moving up to the 348 grain. Fragmentation extremes area problem with the 245 and 295 gr. If yours is copper-clad, you are doing fine & no need to change.
