lmao right lee.

Which is why he shoots powerbelts

couldn't resist...

i shoot everything, including round balls. My .530 round ball didnt come apart on the elk i shot and it was super cheap.

MD, do you pull the tips out of the thor bullets to comply with CO law? IF so, how does that effect it's accuracy?

they got rid of that law this year. no bullet length restrictions now. hornady said pulling them out or cutting them flush wouldnt hurt the bullets performance.

I have used them the last two years and killed two elk. First one totally lived up to billing: passed through (three bones): the shoulder blade, rib, chest, another rib and lodged under the skin on the far side with 85% retention. This year the bullet went through the big bone just above the elbow (very large bone) shattered it and the bullet did come apart, but one big chunk went through the heart and she went down in short order.

I have had good accuracy and good terminal performance on the two elk I have taken (both cows) and would not hesitate to use them again. However, I have 2 boxes of 300 gr Thor bullets ordered. If they fly well, I may use them for elk next time. A solid copper Barnes bullet of 300 gr with a reliable expansion and solid rear core just seems to be about the best you can do for an elk.

I shoot them in my Knight Vision with BH209 and get great results!!! I was getting less then an inch at 50 yds @ about 2" high and within an inch and a half @ 1" high at 100 yds.

They are little hard to get started, but will slide down the bore very easily once you get them started. I am trying to get my hands on some of the new 300 gr bullets. These should be a little better for deer sized game. But the 350 gr bullets will work just great on hogs!

i shoot the FPB bullet out of my Encore using 110 grains of 2F Goex Pinnacle. They load easily after i give the short starter a good whack. Accuracy is not all that great, about 2.5" at 100 yards.

i have killed 8-10 hogs with the 350 grain FPB bullet, some were really big hogs. Earlier this month a young US Army officer i was hunting with shot a hog at a feeder that weighed 285 pounds field dressed. The man was using an Omega that we had sighted in that morning using the 350 grain FPB bullet. The powder charge was 100 grains of 2F JSG. The bullet went through over 3" of gristle in the shield and 12-14 inches of innards, muscle and bone.

I shoot the 350s in my Genesis, with 100 gr loose Pyrodex. They shoot well for me, meaning they seem to average about an inch at the 50 yd range. I've never shot them any further at the range. I really like the idea of not needing a sabot.

I've shot 5 deer with the FPBs, at ranges from about 40 to 100 yds. All pass-throughs, some hit bones, some did not, no signs of bullets coming apart. I have no second thoughts about taking whatever shot angle is needed to get the bullet into the vitals of a deer.

Pre-sizing them to your gun is the trick to loading these bullets. A sizing block (like mentioned above) works fine, but I simply remove the breechplug and push them nose-first through my bore with a cleaning rod. They need something soft to land on when they fall from the breech. Once sized they load with finger pressure. I think folks that don't get at least good accuracy with FPBs may be damaging the skirts when they load the bullet.

I have enough 350 gr bullets to last a few seasons now, but the 300s interest me.

I tried some of the Thor they seemed to shoot decent[not as good as the FPB but good enough] I made up some jell and they went through the first block and into the second before they opened up. I think they might be designed for elk and bigger game.
