Email Veral Smith of LBT Molds and tell him you want a .451 330gr smooth sided LFN and you will never be sorry. they shot like magic and will kill better than any condom wraped Bullet out there. I use the short harvester or the knight black sabot.

Do you cast those LFNs hard or soft Screwbolts? I shot hard cast WFNs out of my .41 Mag Blackhawk and they were terrible on boiler room shots - deer ran and ran. It was either break them down with a shoulder shot (which I don't like) or plan on a tracking job.

I am actually casting them hard,(water dropped WW) and shooting them @ 1500 fps. (80gr Volumetric, BH209) Two of the deer harvested last year just stood there after the shot for a second or two, then panic set in and they walked/ ran /stumbled 10 to 15 yards and fell. Third deer actually was hit way to far back running, broke both hips, went down sliding, regained its feet and left a blood trail Ray Charles could follow, after reloading next shot was @ 115 yards at Slow moving deer, entered just behind the ribs, came out opposite front shoulder, dropped there.

I shot "Lazer Cast 300gr 452 bullets in my Knight with Knight sabots. If you want penetration you can't beat a hard cast lead bullet.The ones I hard miked at .4525It was a little hard to load but the Harvester crush rib should be ideal.

Ok that brings up my next ?. Do you guys make conical out of pure lead only or can I use a harder lead?

Thanks for the other leads also.

In my view, big fat heavy slowconicals should be soft leadunless you're looking for a bone breaking load. I don't expect to have to stop a charging bear or Cape Buffalo - so I go with pure soft lead.

Semi, what I'm looking for is a accurate,HARD hitting bullet to take down an elk, deer, bear,or mother-in-law, you know a good all around bullet.
As I'm sure you know here in Co. we can't use sabots
