I'm shooting a cva optima stainless, thumbhole 50cal with 240gr xtp and maybe 265-300gr if they shoot well. Ive read some say do NOT use 3f because the manufacture recommends 2f, some say barrel length matters, etc. I'm going to use 777 loose this year and need to know what powder would be best? shots are 100-125yards max but one thing that bothered me last year was I shot a large body buck at about 70yards with a 250gr shockwave with 120gr pellets and no pass through so tracking was a pain. Are you guys getting pass through with 2f or would 3f give me more velocity?
I will admit loose powder scares me a little bit messing with 2-3f and just want to be safe.
