Spaniel, You must take into account that the sand i was shooting into was some of the worse sand i have ever used! Rocks and sticks were abundant and the lead took a beating. I was also using 3f pyrodex rather than pyrodex select 2f.
Theres with 80 and 90g pyrodex select "2f" at the same distance. Right side is the 90g charge. The Two on the left are with 80g.
80g Pyrodex select,
I usually have a certain charge that i like to use with Powerbelts due to being recoil sensitive, that and the recoil while shooting off a bench rest VS shooting sticks/off hand is a huge difference and i like a comfortable load that handles will when touched off.
90g 3F had the rifle jumping out of the shooting sticks and that is not what i like!
80g pyrodex select with 295g Hollow Point @ 100 yards. This one was my first sighting in shot and went through a 2x4 and under my sand box into the dirt.
