thanx for the info guys!!

i'll have to remember to take pics of the recovered ball this weekend...and where i found it...probably uncommon...it smashed the shoulder and busted it into pieces...i was impressed...

sproul, i tried the 350gr maxi hunters i think....i'll have to check, i have 2 boxes of TC maxi's cant remember if they were both hunters or not...

also tried the 295gr power belts, and 2 different buffalo ballets...

the good ole round ball is the only thing that would shoot...could group anything else nearly as well....but, i would love to get away from the round ball for hunting...i hit the spine or was close enough to shock the spine on all 3 roundball kills so far...sure they all had 2 1/2 inch holes and with a lung shot they would have died within 100yds...but, i worry that there wont be much of a trail to follow...sometimes its hard to find the holes...i know they kill deer...ive proved it and love shooting the roundball, and the accuracy is GREAT....but for deer hunting out of the 50cal, id like a bullet.....
