I’ve been considering buying another chrono to learn the answers myself , but hate to spend the money for a one time thing!
I have a CVA Optima 50 cal and a CVA Optima V2 50 cal.
I’ve been shooting the same 245 Powerbelt bullet so many use and are available at Wally World.
I’ve been putting it on top of 3 -777 pellets.
It not only kicks the crap out of you, but the groups are not great.
I have lost 2 deer using this setup and decided on a change.
I changed the bullet to A Powerbelt 330 grain ELR in my V2 and got great results with 3 pellets of 777.
I then tried out 95 grains by weight of Blackhorn 209 and got even better results with a small reduction in recoil.
I want to try out the 330 grain ELRs with White Hots now, because I’ve gone through 2 cans of Blackhorn and now it’s hard to find. At $75 per can that’s $150 just in powder!
Has anyone done any testing on the 330 grain ELR and 2 white hots pellets?
I want a devastating round at 100 yards.
I’ve shot several of these loads at paper and they look great!
Now all I want to know is if they have the speed to make the bullet mushroom correctly and the kinetic energy I need.
I understand that some of you guys are far more knowledgeable than me and are load testing junkies.
I don’t need the science and info on what I should use instead, I just need the data on this load if you have it.
I don’t mean to sound like a smarty pants, because that’s not how I mean it.
I know you guys are far more knowledgeable than me on the subject .
Thank you!
