powerbelts? and new gun
Picked up a cva wolf today. It was a kit with a bunch of stuff I already have but it was on sale. It came with some powerbelts. They are copper with a green belt and hollow point. There is no info in the packaging saying what grain they are. Nothing on their website either. Anyone know what grain these are? I patterned 4 different bullets today. 250 gr sst's, 240 xtp's, 200 shockwaves and the powerbelts all with 100 grains of pyrodex pellets. The powerbelts were the hands down winner in accuracy. Only shot 50 yards today but my last group with powerbelts was 3 bullets, one hole. It was a big hole but thats pretty sweet for the first time shooting the gun.

RE: powerbelts? and new gun
I'd bet they are the 245gr Powerbelts. That is good shooting with the Powerbelts. I will say they shot pretty good out of my Wolf also. If you get a chance, pick up some Barnes Expander MZ's in 300gr and black Harvestor Crushed rib sabots, and 2 Pyrodex pellets. I shot 4 bullets in a inch at 100 yards through my Wolf.

Well if I had to guess ... 295 grain all lead hollow point. Its a shame you did not weigh one. It might mention their weight somewhere on the package if you still have it.

100gr powder is getting on the hot side for them. Certainly don't go higher. I've never tried them but I've heard they do well around 80gr of powder but start blowing up at higher charges.
