What kind of bullets do you guys recommend for long range shooting? I just like the Powerbelts as it's all I've used and they are very very accurate out of my other black powder gun at 100 yards with 100 grains of pellets so I've stuck with them. I'm just tempted to try the 150 grains of pellets since this thing can handle it. I'm not sure if I will like it or drop it back down to 100.
When you talk long range, you want aerodynamic bullets. If you're shooting 100 yards, most bullets will handle the problem. Its when you start reaching 150 or 200 yards, now you have to consider how that bullet goes down range. One of the best long range bullets is the Shockwave. People just seem to be able to make that thing shoot long range. I like Barnes and Nosler. Some other good ones, Parker Extreme.

Personally, I am not a long range shooter. Where I shoot and hunt it just is not necessary. But, there are some excellent long range shooters on this forum. I am sure they can give you some excellent advise on your bullet selection.
