Had to go exchange the PowerBelt 295 gr Aerotips I bought for 245 gr. SIL uses the 245. Both have green tips so got confused. So his load is 100 gr. BlackHorn 209 powder, Powerbelt 245 aerotip and Winchester 209 primer.

Close to 2000 fps in the ballistic tables and sighting for zero at 140 yards (3.16" high at 100) the BDC Nikon has holds for out to 200 yards +.

I've read some bad reviews for the Pyrodex, Pyrodex pellets, WhiteHot pellets and Shockey powders in regard to really burning dirty. Anyone with some experience using these have any comments?
