Strutter - Oh yeah, my TC Firehawk has eaten a steady diet of Great Plains over the years....as well as a few deer along the way. First 2/3 of bullet drops easily into the bore, then the last "band" at the top of the bullet touches the rifling. With a slight tap, the bullet then engages the rifling.

Since the conical is soft swaged, you might have to use a lead removing solvent if you put several thru your rifle to prevent leading.
