RE: I'm about to throw this thing in the lake
 

I like the powerbelts, i havent tried the new ones yet but plan to. What grain are u getting? 270grain? if you're picking up some pyro rs, start it off with 80 grains. Thats what i always start at when i sight in a new rifle. Once its on sight at 25 yards i start adding more powder.

RE: I'm about to throw this thing in the lake
 

I shoot a Knight "Wolverine" 50cal......240gr XTP w/90grs of Goex 2fand a CVA "Apollo Eclipse" 50cal......240gr XTP.......w/ 90grsof PyrodexRSandnever had any problems with either.

UPDATE: I FOUND THE LOAD I FOUND IT I FOUD IT
