Default RE: Hornady FPBs

I am getting great accuracy with my Omega and 90 gr of blackhorn 209. No swabbing.

Also did well with 90 gr of 777 with swabbing.

Didn't take that much force to load. QLA (false muzzle)really helps

you have to understand how they are designed to know how to use them. The base is a flared miniball skirt. This flared baseis bigger than bore size. So when you start them, you have to force them into the barrel. That way they can be sized to any barrel

They are hard to start in rifles without a QLA. You have to have a short starter and POP them to get them started, then they go down fairly easily. Some people are starting a bunch of them at home, then pushing them on through. That way they are "presized" when you get to the range or hunt.

They are a great bullet and worth the effort to learn how to use them.
