Been outside for a couple hours shooting my Optima..... In a T SHIRT and sweatin my butt off!
Started out shooting the 270gr Powerbelt Platinums with 100gr Pyrodex Pellets and Winchester W209 primers. Best i could squeeze out of the 270s was roughly a 3 1/2" group. I'll know for certain the size once i get the pics off the camera once i am finished shooting.
Luckily i had a package of the 300gr Powerbelt Platinums so i switched over to those and just shook my head. These things shoot great with 90-100gr blackhorn209 and with 100gr pyrodex Pellets, No swabbing, a few minute cool down, i had 4 shots in a hole slightly bigger than a quarter and just one a touch away, and that was my first shot on a cold bore.
Those Pyrodex pellets are accurate as hell in this Optima!
Breaks over so time to load up with the 295gr hollow point powerbelts and see how those do.
Pics coming!
