Ed's 350gr HP did well too and they are super cheap if Dan is still casting them for sale. Lyman sells the mold and Lee sells the sizing die if not.
A sub 300gr 50cal soft lead HP conical is silly. No matter what the cost. Thats probably why NoExcuses don't make any.
Using the cheapest PR bullet seemed fair. Now i wonder how the most expensive Dead Center performs and its still cheaper than any PB i think.
