TC Shock Waves....250gr Super Slides

I'm shooting a TC Encore and a TC Omega....neither one will shoot the Power Belts worth a darn (at least not with Trip 7).

I've got a TC G2 in .45 that shoots XTP's....

Been using the 250 T/C Shockwave and the Harvester 260 Scorpion PT Gold. Have killed 2 deer with both combos (2&2) and they both killed with authority for me. Both bullets shoot equally well with 1& 1/2 to 2 inch 100 yd. groups being the norm. Not good enough to shoot the balls off a gnat , but good for any deer that ever walked.

I have been using 300 gr Knight Sabots in my Remington 700 ML. I get about 4" groups with open sights. I initially used black belt bullets in it (the forerunner to the CVA power belts), but the groups were horrible, it didn't seem to matter what grain I used.

I have a CVA Mountain Stalker that shoots patched balls very well...I will have to use it for all of my hunting since Idaho has now outlawed inlines.

Hey,
I am a little surprised that no one is using conicals. I use No Excuse conicals 460's over 70 grains of 777 in both my Whites, one .50 cal and one .45 cal. Took a Doe with each and neither went more than 20 yards. Also shot XTP's out of my H&R Huntsman.

Live Long and Prosper, Bruce

I have a whole new setup this year and have yet to hunt with it until next week, December 5th I will change all that when I head out to see what I can get.

I have been shooting at the club and am quite happy with Hornady 240 grain HP/XTP

It is all sited in and ready to go, I'm just counting the days.

In my 1:48 flintlock PRB, maxiballs, maxi hunters, buffalo ball-ets. In my sidelock percussion powerbelts, and a variety of sabotted bullets. In my 1:28 flintlock and my inline I have used sabotted bullets from 185 gr to 300 gr and currently use Harvester crushrib sabots. Works for me.

Power Belts

RE: what brand of bullet does everyone use

WinMag — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:13:01 GMT

I have about 4-5 box's of Powerbelts and Blackbelts in 295 gr. And i have yet to shoot one of them. Good ole Boy from Canada sent them to me. I bought my ML back in "02" and have shot only the Hornady XPT's through it, well i take that back . Did run a box of the 395 gr Buffalo bullets out of it. Had to do a lot of cleaning to get all that lead out of the rifling through.

Powerbelts...........I never could get the Sabot type to work properly in my gun.

RE: what brand of bullet does everyone use

WinMag — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 08:47:41 GMT

I like Hornady's XPT 240 grainers

RE: what brand of bullet does everyone use

TrailCamMan — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 22:06:33 GMT

Barnes are the only thing I have ever used to hunt with my ML. They work so I will continue to use them.

BullWarrior — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:05:46 GMT

Home-made minie' balls/buffalo stompers made out of melted down tire/battery lead for my Enfield .577 caliber. I'll have to post a pic of my molds and set up for that one day. I also use it for my home-made "Do-It" jigs.

For my inline, Hornady or Thompson's, 240 grain, .45 caliber JHP with plastic sabot for .50cal.

Patch & round ball, or Powerbelts. My first ever ML kill was with a round ball. They also make for an inexpensive follow up mercy shot - only happened once.
