OPTIMA ELITE .50CAL BULLET/PWDR??

What are you shooting in your Optima Elite??
How are the Powerbelts?? Hows the Triple 7 pellets??
Im thinking of trying the 295gr. ballsitic powerbelt with 150 777.

Magnum loads with powerbelts are recommened for long range shooting of 140+ yards. Usually any target under 100 yards, the bullets will fragment. You are just buying into the BS about magnum loads. Its not needed!

The 295 with 80 to 90 grains Loose pyrodex RS will do perfectly out to 150 yards.

Optima Elite is an excellent rifle.
