Default Copper Magnum Power Belts

I visited MidSouth Shooters web site a few weeks ago and signed up for their catalog. I got the catalog tonight in the mail and was flipping through the pages looking at muzzle loader bullets and noticed Copper Magmun Power Belts on page 60. Does anyone know.....are these new, solid copper? Or just another variation of the copper clad lead bullets like the Areo Tips? If they are a solid copper bullet I will be getting some to try.

Copper mag powerbelt = the same 'ol copper jacket powerbelt. They did that so the buyers wouldnt get confused with the new platinum powerbelts.

OK Thanks, I see they are calling the Platinum the Areo Tips and changed the old Areo Tips to "Ballistic Points". Still the most accurate bullets I've shot so far.

After trying some different bullets I found for my scoped Omega 90 grs of 777 and
CLAYBUSTERS / HARVESTER 50 CAL SABOTS W/ .451 DIA 330 GR HARD CAST BULLET

http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00072H35033

or


http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.co...?sku=000308215

THOMPSON CENTER ACCESSORIES .50CAL SUPER GLIDE SABOTS W/ 300GR SHOCK WAVE SPIRE PT BULLETS

shot about the same at 50 and 100 yrds from sand bag rest.

50 yrds 3/4 in. and 100 about 2 in. 3 shot grps.

I shot a 145 hog with the Super Glide but have not used the claybuster on any game, yet. Maybe this fall. Yes the claybuster was just abit lower on the paper than the super glide.
