RE: Moving away from Powerbelt bullets; Need recommendations
inline,flinter,percussion. it doesnt matter what they are shot out of. The powder charge is what causes the bullet to fly out of the barrel. I do all of my bullet testings, 245-295-270 and 300gr in a cva mountain rifle and the bigger 348+ in a cabelas hawken.
Both the TC Omega and CVA Optima i had, shot the 295,348 and 405 with 80gr Pyrodex RS. I tried 90 and 100gr with the 405's and just about crapped myself. Not my kind of recoil!! Even the 348's hurt with 90gr. Recoil is not a comfortable thing to deal with out in the field.
Surprisingly the 275gr .45s can hold a stiffer charge than the 295gr 50cal Powerbelt.
