I never had any consistent results with the MaxiHunter bullet. My Renegades shot lights out with Maxiballs. I also tried a bullet called Buffaloballs (or something like that, they were a waxed conical), and they were about the same as MaxiHunters. My thought was that they were not engaging the rifling as well as the Maxiballs. The front band on the Maxiball is oversized a bit, and really engraves into the rifling at the muzzle.
