RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
If you want to stick with powerbelts, I would recommend going with a CVA product - they are geared toward shooting powerbelts well. Also, in my experience, CVA makes very good shooting rifles that are a bargain. You don't get the fit and finish you do on a TC or a Knight, but they generally shoot good.

RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
not just powerbelts, but with a very good assortment of conicals.
Thats why i never bought any of the other stuff. I stick with what will shoot what i need. |
RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
do a search on "Powerbeltfragments" and you will see what I mean. Now do aGoogle search on "Barnes fragments" or "Nosler Partition Fragments" and see what ya find. Steve |
RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
try cabelas too. more positive than negetive. Chap doesnt understand that you can not push an all lead conical in the 295g range with 150g pellets and have to hold together. Also doesnt understand that 150g pellets isnt and never was intended for close range shooting.

RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
ORIGINAL: gleason.chapman PB will only shoot "low power" (<1400 fps), so they don't fragment. My personal experience with PB is terrible and so I can't recommend them, many have other experiences, butdo a search on "Powerbeltfragments" and you will see what I mean. Now do aGoogle search on "Barnes fragments" or "Nosler Partition Fragments" and see what ya find. Fragmentation leads to non-penetration and non-penetration leads to non-lethal hit. Chap |
RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
Doesnt understand that magnum charges were never intended for short range shooting. Now, if you want to use magnum charges, do like powderbelt says, match the bullet to the powder charge and to the distance you'll be shooting.
If i were using mag charges and my max distance was lets say 75 yards and possibly a lot closer like 30 yards. I'd use atleast the 338g Platinum or the 348 copper series. Brutal recoil and a waste of powder but some feel they need it. I feel that i need 110g ffg goex in my great plains, but thats because it groups the best. Actually, i think the 300g platinum would do well for shorter range and mag charges. |

RE: Triumph vs Omega vs Kodiak Pro
They can be pushed much faster than 1400fps. You just cant push them at MAGNUM charges at a deer at 30 yards away. Like ive said before, my 295g and 245g powerbelts driven by 150g LOOSE powder and 120g Loose powder did excellent on the deer that i shot from 148 and 146 yards away.
