Well, I'm a first time poster to the forum. This weekend I will embark on my first black powder hunt. I will be hunting elk and mule deer in Northern Colorado. I have a T/C Triumph and will be shooting 338 grain platinum Powerbelts (I heard these are great for elk). I've been shooting both 100 and 110 grains of 777 FFG with great groups. Does anyone have an opinion on the load being used? I am planning on going with 110 grains unless someone talks me out of it. According to the Powerbelt website, expansion isn't much of an issue, regardless of the charge. Here is an excerpt from ther website.
"PowerBelt Platinums also deliver an improved ballistic coefficient by utilizing a more aggressive bullet taper design. Not only does the new taper provide for a more aerodynamic flight, it also helps control the rate of expansion ? regardless of powder charge or distance the bullet travels."
What is everyone's real work experience?
Thanks,
