I was doing good with 250 gr shockwaves, with 110 gr of pyrodex.  The pyrodex is SO corrosive.  I want to shoot a heavier bullet for elk this year so I picked up some Lehigh 300s but can't get them to group at 100 yards.
I'm going to try the Barnes 290s next.

90 grains of triple 7 3fg and powerbelt 295's.   Insanely accurate for an open site spoke pole.

Mine likes 300 grain Speer Deep Curls with MMP sabots in front of 90 grains 777 ffg.  I also practice with TC Cheap Shots with the same amount of 777.

for some reason the site seemed to be dead.  I found the bullets, but no option to buy or see a price.

I'm shooting 110 grains 777 and a 290 tez they are great and accurate at targets. But not so much at fur with me driving. (Not the guns fault in any way)  :chuckle:

Figured I'd get that out of the way before the Karl harassment starts.  :chuckle:
