What Buffalo Conical do you think would be better: The 435gr Round Nose Hollow Base, or the 460gr Round Nose Flat base? Cheaper Than Dirt has the 435gr for around 8 dollars and some odd cents. The do not have the 460gr and more so if you know of any cheap places with the 460gr let me know. I have a 1-48" twist Renegade. This conical would be used for elk. I know the 435gr would do the trick but the 460gr might give me some more penetration and momentum. I know both of these conicals will do really good on elk. I might just go with the 435gr since it is cheap and should do good. What do you all think? I would like to try the 460gr if I could find it for around 10 dollars.
Sharp shooter, how do the 435 group for you? I just found two, and they have the small cavity in the back, I was thinking they were simular to the Hornady's..............this is what I would try..........buy some MMP High Pressure .54 sabots and cut the fingers off........use themto protect the hollow base, they may help with your 100 grain loads. Just a thought.
edit: or lubed felt, card or fiber stock, just protect the base!
