Default RE: Powerbelt Performance

Triple, my complaint is I could only get accuracy with 85-90gr of pyrodex and had to use 11 caps. I could get 2MOA accuracy. Anything pushed beyond that or with winchester 209's, and accuracy would go to crap. I just don't like a bullet with limitations like that and especially with that cost. I like a sabot with little to no blowby like the barnes expander. Or my trusty ole 240gr XTP and harvester sabot. I buy .430 XTP's by 100 and sabots. Pretty cheap shooting and darn hard to beat thier performance at 1550fps or 2000fps. Usually if I am going to shoot 3 777 pellets, I like to use the XTP mag made for the 454. They were the aerotips I tried. I have a range rod and rugged rod, so hard seating doesn't bother me a bit.

I am sure they work, just alot of cheaper bullets out there that I believe work better, cheaper, and don't have all the limitations on how hard you can push it.

I have some left and thinking about putting a subbase on them and trying again. I at least want 2MOA accuracy with 100gr of 777. I was told to try the real heavy powerbelts. But have a bad taste for em after first experiences.
