ORIGINAL: bowbender6

Thanks - I starting with 100 gr T7 in my new .45. So far only 175 power belt is under 2". I got more bullets to try. 200 Shockwave. I think I started to high tryning to save time and bullets and hoping they would group.
Thats way over powering.
After reading the posts,Why are you looking at such small bullets? Have you considered trying conicals?
2" groups with 100 grains triple 7 and that tiny 175 grain powerbelt is pretty damn good IMO! However, It will more than likely give u horrible performance on game due to fact it is such a small bullet and you're pushing it way over its limits. Have you ever recovered any of the little yellow plastic skirts? Im curious as to what they looked like.

223 grain powerbelt Platinum
225 grain powerbelt copper series
275 grain powerbelt copper series
300 grain powerbelt platinum

285 grain great plains conical
255 grain TC Maxi Hunter Or Maxiball

Seeing how you did so well with the 175 grain powerbelts, I'd consider one of the heavier 223+ grain powerbelts over a Maximum of 80 grains triple 7.

90 grains Max with the 223 or 300 grain Platinums.
