Competition for the FPB!
Looks like the Minnie ball is making a comeback! Should be a good bullet, hope they post some ballistics soon.

RE: Competition for the FPB!
I emailed them and asked if they had any ballistic data on them yet. May just take a few days to get the entire website up with all the data they have.

RE: Competition for the FPB!
Here is the reply I received on ballistics;
Still developing, but here is some data:
120 grains Blackhorn 209 with 250 gr TMZ ~2069 fps
120 grains Pyrodex Select with 250 gr TMZ ~2031 fps
120 grains Triple 7 FFG with 250 gr TMZ ~2050 fps
Hopefully by next fall it will be in major sporting goods retail stores!

RE: Competition for the FPB!
The FPB shoots minute of angle groups for me but they are a ways below the sights, this looks good perhaps they will shoot closer to where the sabots shoot. I wonder if they will make them in 54 cal? The 1-38 twist of my 54 system One barrel ought too do well with them. Lee
