I've got a Kodiak .50 cal. that I last hunted with 15 years ago. I've gone through it putting in new firing pin, firing pin spring and breech plug.
When I hunted with it I used Power Belt Platinum 270gr. bullets. In all honesty I had no complaints. I'm looking to change bullets. I've got Hornady .451 cal. 250gr. XTP and Hornady .458 300gr. HP. I've got Harvester sabots. I will be using Shooters World .50 cal. pellets @ 100gr. charge. My max range where I'm hunting will be about 125 yards.
My main question to those who have used either of these bullets is; will the lighter bullet @ 1800 fps be tough enough for close shots and would the heavier bullet @ 1700 fps be too tough at the max range.
