Default 295grain Lead Powerbelt

Checked the mail this morning and found a package from Lanenebraska. I ordered some powder tubes off him. They worked out perfectly!

Loaded up an assortment of powder charges and marked them. Went outside with the TC Hawken and down went 80 grains Pyrodex Select and an all lead 295g powerbelt HP.
First shot was perfect, right where i wanted it, Opened up the box "Used a big cardboard box filled with sand" and recovered the bullet. It went close to 7" into the wet sand.
What i got, wasnt good at all.

These Lead Powerbelts have to be loaded lightly.
Left bullet is 80 grains.
Bullet on the right is with 70 grains Pyro select.

I did not even bother with 90 and 100 grain charges.

58 yards.
