I shot 249 grain XTPs real well, and the .40 caliber 200 grain Shockwaves were amazing! Also the Hornady Funnel Nose Scorpion 260 grain did real well. I think you will find that the Optima is not as fussy as some might think. And OK ... the rifle shot powerbelts Amazingly!
these were a number of things I tried in the Optima.
More load development in the Optima. The rifle shoots most anything with 90 grains of Black Horn 209.
