Rangeball pm'ed me and asked if i had any interest in trying the .500" Hornady FTX 300gr bullets in my rifles. I figured what the heck!

I got them in the mail today and took 1 shot at 100 yards with 150gr T7 pellets just to get an idea where i was hitting.

This evening i came back out with 90gr BH209, Standard CCI Primers * Must be that .035" Flash hole * and the .500" FTX.

They load easy in the Accura's barrel but mid way down, they tighten up a bit. No problem reloading with the borrowed ramrod from my Hunterbolt.

For an experiment with a new bullet, wow do they shoot tight! I did not allow any cool down time either. With proper cool down, its pretty scary to think about the accuracy they would offer in my Accura.



100 yards,
A bit hard to see shot #3,

Pulled the target up and snapped a picture as the #3 shot is much easier to see. Shots 1 and 3 are touching.
