Hornadys new conical = trouble
 

Just read on another forum that the new hornady conical that was supposed to give the Powerbelt some stiff competition is illegal in Colorado due to the length of them.

"I just got off the phone with Hornady as well. They started shipping today. But, I am so pissed off. These bullets will not be legal to use in Colorado. I didn't know this until today. The bullet length is more then double the width of the bullet. They will measure 1.152" in length. Atleast thats what the guy told me. I am not sure if it is possible to grind some of flextip off and make it 1" or not."

Someone else also says that if you pull the tip out, it may be legal size.

Someones gonna have to buy a pack so we'll know if it would be or not.

Frontier - If they shoot well for you, cutting off the polymer tip should not be hard to do. A snip with a pair of wire cutters and a little bit of filing to smooth it out and it should fly just as well. Its worth a try if they are good shooters.

Ditto what bronco said - from the video I saw, the flex-tip looks really soft - should be easy to trim off to a legal length. Although you'd think that Hornady would have thought of this problem before they started mass-producing them...

I may pick up a pack or two after I get back from FL.

Man that would be a big duh if it exceeds maximum length for Co.. I am sure they will redesign it somewhat if it were brought to their attention

I'm just happy to cast my own boolits, scrap lead is free and so is my time.

I would not worry about that. I don't think a game warden i going to measure your conical unless you piss him off.
