Precision Rifle Conicals?

[Chris W.]

Has anyone had any experience shooting Precison rifle's conical bullets? I've had good luck shooting the 410 gr. flat point Great Plains from my KRB, but I've been looking for a heavy hollow point other than the 405 Powerbelts. I've noticed Precision Rifle makes a series of hollow point conicals up to 450 gr. for the .50 caliber but can't say I've heard much, if anything, about them. Anyone got any opinions?

Is there a particular reason you want a hollow point? The reason I ask is that a large chunk of pure lead like a 460gr No Excuse or Bull Shop will get the job done with no need for a hollow point.

That being said, I have not tried the PR conicals but have little doubt they would do a fine job on most anything you shot with them. I think they sell a sample pack that you could get and try them out to see if your gun likes them. Let us know how they work out for you.

I know the hollow point isn't needed. I've taken deer and hogs with the Great Plains 410 gr. flat point. For a flat point bullet, it makes a very nice exit wound. I like trying different things and a 450 gr hollow point hitting home should be just plain devistating to whatever it impacts.

Hunterman can make you up some that would probably be cheaper than the PRs -try emailing him at hunter280manATmsndotcom with a picture/description of a bullet that interests you. I've shot the 400 grain Ultimate 1 spitzer hollowpoint with good results from a couple of rifles. My Huntsman is sighted in with those (only because I bought 250 before the price went through the roof).

UC....Thanks for the info. I'll drop hunterman an email here in the near future.
