Hi, real Newbie first time question -

I have a TC Triumph and I plan on using Powerbelt Platinum 270g 50 cal Aerotips.

I'm gonna load with Tripple 7 Pyrodex (doubling up the pellets.)

My question is: is the bullet skirt supposed to SURROUND or ENVELOP the pellet, or just make contact with it at the bottom of the barrel? This is a big question for me, because from what I can read, you don't want to ram with so much pressure that you break or crush that pellet! But in examining the two close up, I can't see how they fit together.

Thanks, I've got no one to show me the ropes - learning it all from the manual and the web which isn't as good as hands-on instruction.

If there's anything else you'd comment on my setup, please do, my ranges aren't long. With dense woods I'm looking at 50-60 yards max.

THANKS!
