Bullet selection for Austin Halleck
know they are out of business but just checking to see if anyone has an Austin/Halleck and what they use for bullet?? I have tried PB's and then attempted to use Barnes Spitfires but couldn't get them to push down barrel (Too Tight). Any info would be appreciated.

I shoot an A&H and it is avery good gun.. Mine is very accurate... I shoot 100 grains of T7-2f - MMP HPH-24 Sabot and either a 250 grain or a 300 grain Speer Gold Dot... these bullets are bonded and are very good bullets... Your bore is not big enough to use a Normal Barnes bullet and sabot. You need to go to a thinner sabot... MMP HPH-24 MMP HPH-3p-EZ load Harvester Regular Sabot Harvester Crush Rib Hornady Low Drag Sabot. Hope this information helps you... |

ironrangerMany of use buy our bullets in bulk and use the sabot that fits our gun best, there are a number of different thickness sabot [ the thickness of the petals is what controls the fit. I have a friend that uses one he also uses the MMP-HPH 24 . Lee

I have two of them and both have a disctinct preferance that is the same. They shoot the Precision Rifle Bullet Dead Center 340gr awsome. Scoped (had to try it though illigal to hunt with here) I can get sub one inch groups at 100yds. 100gr of 777 FFg.
Alternitively the 405gr Powerbelts pushed by 100gr 777 FFg is a very good performing load also in my guns. Learn your bolt real well. Adjusting them is key to enjoying shooting that gun and having it go bang everytime. |

Thanx Sabotloader and Lemoyne, I found those on the web and may order a bag to try them. Where do you order your bullets in bulk may I ask?? I was checking my Midway USA catalog but have time to dig into it to see if that would be a source. I really appreciate the information as this will help alot!!
Jason, I tried those dead centers and they did shoot well. I could actually get them down the barrel. I found the same thing with the bolt and think I have it adjusted fairly well now. Experienced a few miss fires along the way to gettin there. Thanx!! |

I like the 300g for more down range energy, and they shoot thru a deer and make trailing easy. |

Thanx Gleason and lemoyne!! I appreciate the info.
Gleason, I'm shooting a .50 cal though so I'm assuming this would be the one I'm looking for?? http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=000214495 |

RE: Bullet selection for Austin Halleck
ironranger, no. The one he quoted is the right one. The one you showed is for a 50 S&W pistol or something - it's a 50 cal bullet. We shoot 45 (or some 44cal bullets with sabots). You'll also need to buy some bulk sabots: 50/45 cal. That's 50 outside diam and 45 inside - the size of the bullet. You may want to buy some average thick sabots like these http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=0011550096and some really thin ones like these http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00072H15045BRlike I just did. That way you can find out what works best in your rifle. The sabot makes a lot of difference.
