Question on projectile weight
I was wondering (yes, I know that that is usually a cause for alarm<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> in my case) what type of projectile, projectile weight, powder charge, and weapon you guys are using?
Mine are:
Projectile: 50 Caliber Powerbelt Aerotips
Proj. Weight: 245 grains
Powder Charge: 100 grains (2 pyrodex pellets)
Weapon: T/C Black Diamond XR (w/ 209 primer)
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.

RE: Question on projectile weight
My current load of choice is:
Projectile: .45cal Precision Rifle QT sabot
Proj. Weight: 350gr
Powder charge: 90gr 2fg Triple 7
Weapon: Knight USAK, .50cal, #11Mag caps
My back-up (2nd shot) round uses a 348gr PowerBelt Aero-tip with the same powder charge (this round loads faster for a second shot).

Trust God..........but keep your powder dry!
