"I tested the FPB for those who are going to use them. I am not the only person who wants an easy to load conical."

My point is that you have not really "tested" them. From my point of view, you shot a few and pronounced them inadequate.

I and many others have done some more extensive testing and like what we see so far. I have shot them with 2 different powders in two different guns at multiple grains of powder. Probably over 100 shots so far. Not through with testing, but they show promise to me.

That and the fact that in my particular Omega, they are BY FAR the best shooting conical I have found AND load fairly easily. And I have tried for over 4 years with all kinds of conical and powders to find one that would shoot well.
