They look impressive.

I talked to Terry of Thor Bullets.
Nice guy.
I have a 15 pack of 250grn Ballistic tip's on the way to try.
He is shooting sub 2.5" groups @ 500 yards.

I will TRY to find somewhere to shoot them

He needs to send some to guys like 6x6, etc free and let them try them to spread the word.

Those kind of groups with ANY muzzleloader and bullet are pretty hard to believe. They sound like they should be accurate, but I wouldn't expect that kind of accuracy in 99.9% of rifles out there. If they will consistently shoot 2.5 inches at 200 yards in a variety of guns, that would be a great bullet indeed.

I did not ask the conditions per his range reports as far as was the gun in a vice etc.
I am not capable of shooting those groups with any bullet.

Those bullets look awsome, let me know how they shoot. It would eliminate the sabot problem for a lot of us. Chap
