Yep thats what you gotta do with pure lead. Have to drive them slower. Now if you are insane and like the brutal ass whipping from a 400+ grain conical and a heavy powder charge, have fun!

I wish i would have taken pics of those custom 385g paper patched conicals idahoron sent me for that Apex.

But anyways, the .490's were just posted to show everyone how soft the powerbelt lead bullet is and how easily they expand with little powder. Those were casted from my lee mold which is either 177 or 178 grains .490 round ball.
