Default Bull shop - No excuse in CVA Wolf?

Have any of you tried either the BS or NE bullets in the Wolf? I am thinking about ordering some, but am unsure what size i should order. BS also makes a 395gr Great Plains bullet and i've really been looking at these as well.

Jon, just slug your bore with a RB and measure it with a micrometer.the plains are probably hollow points. i don't care for a all lead hollow point.the .460 or the 445 UC short are better choices with there metplate. PM me with your address and i will send you some .503 .460 NE's.i am going to order some .445 UC shorts soon also.. Ray

Sending them out in the morning. don't know how they will shoot in a CVA. but i will tell you, in my lil $ 150.00 Knight wolverine the .460 with .75 gr pyrodex shoot excellent. my 9 yr old shoots them with .60 gr all the time with really good results. another nice thing about big lead is, it can be accurate with light loads..

Ive used BH209 with several conicals and sofar 80gr and a felt wad has worked best in 3 calibers and at least 6 weights upto a 460gr Great Plains. Cupped bases seemed to give the best results in this combo in QLA and non QLA type barrels.

54cal Maxis also gave me very acceptable results with my moly/Alox lube mix in a GM54 barrel.
