I know the 275 gr maxihunters shoot great out of a GM 1:28 barrel. Can't say about the 1:48. But if the Maxiballs shoot as good as the Powerbelts and are heavier - there is no way I would shell out the $$ for the Powerbelts.
yes, TWIST is why they shoot good out of your 1-28.
maxi-balls is only one to use in 1-48 twist.not those MAXI-HUNTERS.too short.
maxi-balls are around 11 dollars,i got a box for 8 bucks that had dust on them from years ago, gun shop never raised price.
i got my powerbelts at wal-mart for 11.99 before the price went up .
i bought 60 but i only shoot 2 or 3 a year to sight in, thats it.
for practice i use rb.
maxi-balls TESTED at thompson in vise under best conditions inside, they told me they cut the holes with that bullet at 50 yards easy.
that bullet will go right thru a deer.
thats how the MAXI-HUNTER was made, the hunters wanted a bullet that would blow up more than the maxi-ball 370.
only thing i dont like is messy lubes in winter, i hate it.
powerbelt is clean, i can have clean barrel ,i like that.
thompson sells those little maxi-hunters and i was told they are awful in 1-48 twist but fine in the others like the 1-62 and 1-28 twist.
they were right, we went thru box after box of MAXI-HUNTERS WITH AT LEAST 6, 1-48 TWIST BARRELS.
THEY WERE SO BAD THEY SHOT 5 INCHS OR MORE AROUND TARGETS.all over place.
