Hey all, this is my first post on here. I have a new CVA Optima V2 stainless steel barrel. I currently have it zeroed at 100 yards with 80gr T7 loose powder with 295gr Powerbelt Aerotip. That leaves me 2.5" hight at 50. It's grouping consistently but I'm concerned about my muzzle velocity. Ballistic charts from power belt only go down to 100gr of powder. With 100gr of T7 my MV at 100yds would only be about 1300fps. And I'm not sure if that's enough for consistent expansion with Aerotips.
I guess I have 2 options, switch to Aerolites because they perform better ar lower velocities (also my dad has the same gin and uses the same load and AT's and AL's shoot almost the same out of his gun) and/or try to bump up my powder charge.
Was curious if anyone has any personal experience with any of these loads out of this gun so I have a good starting point. I'm a college student and don't have alot of money to be burning through bullets and powder all willy nilly
