RE: recovered bullets
Here in Pennsylvania we are not allowed to use the 40 caliber bullets in the primitive season so I bought some 200 grain .430 bullets and mmp green sabots for my 1:28 twist flintlock and was glad they werejust as accurate as the .452 250 grain xtp bullets in the black sabots. I know it's not the same bullet but it's the best I can use.
I have 2 barrels for the RMC flintlock stock. One is 24" and the other is 28". I can use two bullet sizes and charge rates without re-sighting. I wonder if any of you have used the .429 210 grain Gold Dots? I think I will order a box when I get the .452 250 grain Gold Dots.
I am saving the newspapers for a penetration and expansion test of the 200-250 grain bullets from my fast twist GM barreled flintlock. I think I will hang a welders glove in front of a 5 gal. bucket of wet newspaper. Pics coming soon. Thanks to all.
