Howdy All...
Question for ya...
My T/C 209x50 has delevoped quite a fondness for a .44 caliber 240 gr. Gold Dot bullet wrapped in a pretty green
sabot, pushed by two, 50 grain, 777 pellets. She shoots VERY well with this load!!
BUT... (you knew that was coming didn't you?
) I'm wondering if I can get a bit more punch out of this load by upping the charge just a bit. That said, I have tried a max load of three, 50 grain pellets and it wouldn't group for nothing. My guess is that somewhere between 100 and 150 grains is that "sweet spot". To find that, I'll need to switch to 777 in a loose powder.
I've heard that when you switch from pellets to loose powder, it doesn't cross over grain for grain... So... What is the equivilent (sp?) charge in loose powder for, let's say my "pet" load of (2) 50 grain pellets?
(Note: My current loading may be the best possible with that projectile... But I can't leave well enough alone. It can always get better!! Right?)
