[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 4656739, member: 967"] I will post some pictures of the targets. I plan to try some saboted .45 cal Barnes Expanders in it this weekend. I am still experimenting with projectiles to determine the best hunting round. So far I have tried some of the Air Venturi projectiles and two of three styles grouped well but I am not seeing the kind of expansion I want to see. 50 Cal, 336 Grains, Flat Nose was accurate and had best the penetration as well as expansion. 50 Cal, 177 Grains, Round Balls were a little less accurate, had decent penetration but not what I am looking for. 50 Cal, 185 Grains, Hollowpoints were not very accurate in my rifle. I had some pretty wide groupings but the expansion was great. I have had really great results in muzzle loader with Barnes Expanders with great penetration and expansion. My research revealed that they will work equally well in air guns. I will post my findings after I shoot a few groups. [/QUOTE]
