Sizing them to your own gun as suggested will help a lot. I shoot them in my Genesis and they load very easily once started. I had a little trouble at first, but giving the short starter a firm thump gets them started.

I have re-loaded a few by pushing out loads after a hunt. These always load very easily, no ned for a starter. I think I will size a few for the season this year, as I don't like to carry the starter hunting.

I have tried presizing them, but as stated, they normally load very easy the second time. Since I shoot them with BH 209, and that requires a tight fit for good combustion, I have not presized them with the combination. When started as stated, they require firm, but not excessive pressure to load and they go off and shoot well with BH. If you are using 777 or pyrodex, then presizing would be great.

I shot roughly 10 from my Omega in front of 90 grains RS. They were easy to load with a spit patch in between in each shot. The accuracy wasn't bad and could have been improved with some tinkering but it is not my hunting bullet this year so I did not do any further testing. Search my posts, I posted pics of the groups at the beginning of Sept.

If you only push them a short way into the barrel before pushing them back out it works fine with my knight. Thats why I do not push them on through. Lee

what type of powder is being used with the fpb? I have tried P, RS, and T7 2f. I couldnt get very good groups with my White or my CVA.

I have used almost exclusively BH 209, but 777 did pretty well too.

My most accurate load with these bullets has been in the 90-100 gr range

I have tried only loose Pyrodex RS, 100 grains.
