Default Hydra Conicals

Has anyone shot a Hyrda Conical? Have you killed anything with one and how did it do? I saw some hand cast a few days ago and they had 515gr and 600gr for the 54cal. I think the 600gr would be too heavy. I was just curious because I know that differeny company's make them. For now I am sticking with the 425gr Great Plains and 435gr Buffalo but I was just wondering how these work for you guys.

I am also a big Hornday GP conical fan.

As for these bore size Parker's...
If the bore size conical's even somewhat group, they should be like throwing an anvil down range at 1400+fps. [:-]= Very lethal indeed.

I will order some to try for some groups and if they print, I'll toss one at a deer this fall (or perhaps mabey an engine block ). They look really good.

At least now I know who makes Traditions projectiles. I have some of the jacketed/sabotHydra-Con in 275gr flavor. Three packages that a friend gave me when he could not get them to group. I have yet to mess with them though.

Can ya get them cheaper than that? At $1.00 or $1.40 each, that seems pretty spendy. I just bought some conicals from the Bullshop at I think about $0.23 or $0.24each, that included shipping.
