Ok cool!

So how do they improve accuracy?

Thanks!

I would try shooting the Maxiball and if they are not consistant, try using a felt wad between the bullet and powder. It mades a difference shooting Maxi balls out of my Omega.

A bore button over the powder helps to seal the pressure from the ignition gas explosion. Many times this explosion can play havoc on the base of conicals. In the case of a hollow based conical this is what you want. In the case of a slip fit, you want them to expand a little, grab the rifling and spin their way up the barrel. Not deform from the pressure and the heat. In some, but not all cases, the bore button will make that initial blast more of a controlled explosion and that CAN produce better accuracy with some conicals.

The Knight rifle would make a fantastic choice. As stated earlier the Knight will shoot conicals. And normally Knight rifles will shoot them very well. My MK85 likes a 525 grain RCBS HotchKiss bullet that I cast myself.

You might try making your own conicals. The cost of getting started for MZ casting is very cheap. A lot of people buy the inexpensive Lee REAL bullet mold, and the bullets can even be pan lubed if necessary. You can get started for $20 or $30 dollars. And you can easily spend that on your first order of bullets?? Just a suggestion. However pouring MZ bullets is actually very easy to do, and IMO it is a lot of fun. And it issatisfying to shoot an animal with the bullet that you made. Tom.

Made many a Maxiball in my day. It is cool to shoot deer with bullets you have made. Some were recovered in deer, re-melted and cast into new bullets. Every bullet from the pot thereafter had some % of those recovered bullets, so my bullets were "experienced".
