Your kidding me Semi!!!

MD i really look forward to seeing the Aerolite put through the water jug test, the test that Ronlaughlin and others have done on various bullets!

i have a couple theses saved for packing with wet news paper. Just have to pick up some old paper from the post office.


No expansion testing today, a fresh layer of 5" of snow on the ground and cold weather. Gettin bundled up now and heading to the range! Mistakenly loaded a 250 aerolite into the Optima and the rifles prefers heavier bullets so we will just have to see if it will shoot the lighter ones or not.

Oh my god! Just got back off the range, the 250s with 100gr BH209 shoot freakin AWESOME. I first tried 90gr with them and it grouped roughly 2 1/2". Went up to 100 and i was biting my hand to make sure i wasnt dreaming! My Optima has never grouped well with a light weight powerbelt, always wanted the heavier bullets. A huuuuuge improvement in this rifle! Pictures will be coming as soon as we get the V2 on paper and see how she prints.

As i stated earlier, there was no doubt in my mind that the new "longer" Aerolite would be more accurate, longer 300 gr bullets have a better BC.the close range wet paper and "water jug test" will be a good gauge as to it's terminal performance.the Aerolite test that i linked earlier, did not look very promising.

actually that aerolite looked great considering it was a 250 pushed by 110gr blackhorn and not shot into a controlled media. Carlos found it in a dirt berm on the range.

Okay heres the 90gr BH209 with the 250gr Aerolite @ 100 yards. I have to resize the other target with the 300's on it. In a rush to get changed and run over to new mexico to pick my nephew up.


3 shots from the Optima at 100 yards with the 250 Aerolite and 100gr Blackhorn209. Huuuge difference! 3 shots into a 1" square with room to spare inside the square.

Now that looks promising for sure. Hope it performs a that level in the media tests.

Actually it looked a awful lot like the PB'S you tested with your tips addition.

md, didn't you send test results to powerbelt on your insert test?
