ohiobuckhunter Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 i just moved from a 50 cal. to a 45 cal. for better distance. i have never owned a 45 before and i was looking for some ideas on a good type of bullet and the grain amount i should use it is a KODIAK PRO HUNTER. i didn't really like the powerbelts in my 50 cal. it seemed to like to shoot the thompson center sabots but i can't find them in a 45 thanks for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Finding anything for 45 is getting tough. seems like everything is 50. I have a 45 as well and shoot the Pyrodex pellets and Powerbelts. I have a jug of the Blackhorn 209 on order to try. But the Powerbelts are about the only route unless you want to go with the Barnes expander which is a 40 caliber in a 45 Sabot but they highly suggest you get the Barnes Allignment tool to use this one. Hornady also has a "Great Plains 45 Sabot. Midway USA has all of these. Hope this helps, Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I use the pellets and Powerbelts in my .45 Knight. It loves them. The deer, however, are not such big fans of the Powerbelts. 90 yard heart shot last season was truly gory in the snow. I stood up from where I shot (ground with tripod sticks) and could see the snow was just painted, from that distance, I said, "Wow."
