Another Optima owner. Nitride barrel
I started with 2 white hot pellets and 245 powerbelts years ago, as the instruction manual suggests them. I have had good results. Although i considered switching to powder and sst slugs to tighten up groups beyond 50 due to reading forums and having a few deer go further than I’d like for getting hit w a slug that size.
Or no good blood until dropping.
Most of the Slugs stayed in the deer , only two of maybe 6 fragmented when hitting a rib.
I’m kind of glad powder is tough to get right now.
