I was shooting a Wolf that I sold a couple weeks ago. It was shooting good with 2- 50gr 777 pellets and a regular 250gr shockwave.

Tried your load yesterday with my Wolf and by going to 80 grains of powder was holding 3 inch groups, two inches low, at 150 yards off the bench. The felt recoil was as you say about like a 410. Thanks for the tip.

WCW, glad it worked out for you. I haven't had my Wolf long, and only tried 2 loads - the 1 with the 200 XTP and another with the 250 Gold Dot. The XTP's shot better. I'll try upping the charge to 80 grains next time and see how it goes.
