The 385's shoot ok out of a Disc Extreme. The 285's are awful. They measure .458 and are very tight to load out of a .451 barrel. [:@]

285 and 385s shoot great out of my winchester x-150 .50 cal and my deer creek .45 rifle. Results are 5/8" @ 100 yards with the 385s in my winchester. Your Apex should love them. I use either 80 grains pyrodex rs or 80 grains triple 7. I like the pyrodex RS better in my inline due to all 3 shots grouping while with triple 7 my first shot is always a little high while the next 2 are lower and are the groupers.
In my .45 the 285s were around a 1 1/2" group. I never played with them much due to the rifle loving the 225 grain powerbelts.

The 410 gr. flat point shot great out of my cva last season. I haven't tried them out of my Knight yet. It's just been waaaay to hot to even think of going to the range lately.

What do you mean by this? Does that mean that you routinely shoot 5/8" groups or you did it once?

5/8" groups has been the worse group i can shoot out of the x-150 with my 80 grains RS and a 385 GP conical. 5/8" is what i have been getting ever since i found this load. 1/2" was the best but that only happened once. I get disapointed if i dont shoot atleast a 5/8 or 7/8" group out of the x-150. I can easily expect and see a 1" group with a 295 powerbelt a 120grains loose RS. Lots of time invested finding these loads. Now its time to go shoot the .45 and dial in my final load that i will use.:D

And that is without a scope right?

correct. With a scope you could pretty much get them into the same hole if you did your part and the wind was on your side.

Truglow ghost ring sights were a huge help too.
