Description
PowerBelt® ELR 50 Cal. AeroTip Bullets were specially designed for CVA's Paramount™ rifle, but can provide superior long-range performance in any 50 caliber muzzleloader. In testing with the CVA Paramount, using the maximum recommended super-magnum charge of Blackhorn® 209 propellant, ELR bullets achieved muzzle velocities of 2380 fps. Critical to the ELR’s long-range potential is the high ballistic coefficient as compared to other muzzleloading projectiles. Due to their longer length and aggressively tapered shape, the 50 cal. ELRs deliver a .312 BC.
Internally, the ELR is similar in concept to the PowerBelt AeroLite® bullet, incorporating a large hollow point cavity which eliminates weight from the core, allowing that weight to be used to lengthen the bullet. This hollow core is filled by the tail of the polycarbonate ballistic tip, which offsets the tendency of the bullet to expand too rapidly. Optimal performance of the ELR will be achieved using magnum or super-magnum propellant charges. Rifles like the CVA Paramount are designed to handle such super-magnum charges (meaning charges that produce higher pressures than traditional magnum loads). With rifles not designed for such high pressure loads, the maximum propellant charge recommended by the rifle manufacturer should not be exceeded.
