Took the cabelas hawken out and took 2 shots with the 270g platinums @ 58 yards and 120 grains Pyrodex Select.

Might work with a lung shot but i wouldnt touch the shoulder. I think it would have to be a minimum of 70 yards for them to hold together with 120 grains powder.

Had a brain storm and seeing how i hadn't tested the Aerotip 295g powerbelt, I went and stole some Tips out of the 245's i have and squeezed them into Two 295g powerbelts and loaded up 100g pyrodex select, 58 yards.

The Aerotips held up very well VS the Hollow points, which went paper thin with this charge/yardage.

Maybe tomorrow i will go a head and test those big 405's out at 71 yards and see how they do in the sand box.

Left side = 100g PS - 295g AT
Right side= 120g PS-270g Platinum
