I shoot a T/C Strike using 84.0 gr. by weight of BH 209 powder and a CCI 209 primer to propel a Harvester 300 grain PT gold bullet with their black crushed rib sabot using a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 scope. It is a solid 200-yard shooter.
I am looking into shooting a heavier projectile, (350, 400 and 435 grain bullets). I have been told by a man who knows a lot more than I do that I need to decrease my powder load. He tells me that (in my words) because the bullet is heavier it spends more time in the barrel thus causing the bullet to enjoy the benefits of more complete burning of the propellant before it exits the barrel. Because of that, it picks up more of the energy of the explosion.
I would appreciate many second opinions. I can be reached here or directly at [email protected]
