Default Maxi HunterBullet??

Is the Lyman maxi hunter a good choice for the
50 cal. I found a mold at a darn good price..
I have read where they are a accurate bullet.
But thought I would see what some of you

some rifles shoot them well other rifles not well at all. If the mold is cheap.. buy it.

I'd have to agree - if the price is right go ahead and give it a try.

My .50 (slow twist) shoots regulart 370-grain Maxi-balls quite well, but won't shoot the Maxi-Hunters worth two hoots. The Maxi-Hunter looks like it would be a good deer bullet. The regular maxi-Balls are good bullets for elk, moose, and other game that requires deeppenetration. They don't expand well.

I bought some at Wal-mart real cheap. I was thinking they would shoot in something I own. I can't get them to shoot well in any of my rifles. They look like a fine bullet but looks can be deceiving.
