Default RE: Powerbelts for the Apex

Okay i throw my hands up on this.

2 shots with the 275g HP powerbelt and 80g pyrodex Select,

First shot i fired into a coffee can filled with packed damp sand. Fire the shot, Blows right through it and leaves a golf ball sized exit hole in the can!

Okay lets try this again but with a little safety. Get another coffee can, fill it the same way, pack it down tight and place it in front of the last coffee can,go back to my 58 yard log rest. BOOM!

Allrighty! That should do it.

Get up there,

SOB! Start a little swearing storm.

It blew through both coffee cans and again, left a friggin golf ball sized exit hole! I did not find any traces of where that bullet went, but it left some major damage to those 2 cans.

After seeing this, I'd easily use up to 90g pyrodex select and possibly 100 grains. I'm going to test that charge out tomorrow but with a BIG box of sand!

Im loosin lead here and that does not make me happy!
