Anyone shooting 348 grain PB's out of thier Huntsman?

If so, what load do you like. Type of powder and how many grains shoots well for you?

90 gr 777! 295 hollow shoot slightly tighter at 75yds, but i'm really splittin' hairs here.. I'll bet 80gr would be fine. I tried 90 first, and the recoil is
nonexistant as well...

tscott,

are you getting any crud ring with that load? just curious

No crud ring! However, I am not a big range guy. I never shoot more than 5 times without a complete barrel clean. Once I have established
the most accurate deer load, the gun only shoots deer, unless I have reason to believe I may have screwed up zero.

Excellent no crud ring problems. Trust me if you did have one thier is no way in hell you would be seating a third round without swabbing.
