Default Some new conicals coming out

got some new thors coming my way. Graphite coated and one size fits all. Supposedly supposed to load a little hard at first until the bullet cuts into the rifling, then they load like the normal thor. When they come in i will post some pics of them.

noticed i said they load like the original thor after they engage the rifling? unlike the fpb that nearly left with my nuts in my boots due to them loading so hard ALL the way down.

well, it remains to be seen that the Thors don't load with the same difficulty for YOU. Let us know how they work. I just got some 502s on his recommendation that ended up being too small, so I had to send them back for the 503s

I suspect that you will still need a short starter and give them a good "whap" to get them started.
