Traditions Full Bore
I don't have any range reports just yet but i know some of you wanted to see them. Basically the Hornady FPB with a yellow insert. They measure .505" At the base.
100gr Blackhorn209 @ 100 yards. I haven't weighed them all yet but one did weigh in at 197 grains out of 300. Have to use a short starter as well. In my new Optima one wack gets it down while in my other CVA's it takes 5 or 6 wacks before they will go down. |

yep thats exactly what it is.

FBP
FullBore Black Powder Projectile I bet the only thing thats different is the cardboard advertising insert. Looking for the price, thinking they might be cheaper than FBP. |
$19.99 for the Fullbores.
Heres some better pictures. I shot them in my Wolf today at 100 yards with 100gr Blackhorn209, cci 209m primers and pulled a 1 1/2" group with open sights. Surprised the heck out of me to be honest. I didn't think i could pull that off with my eye sight being the way it is. It will only get better next month. |
Wish they would bring these out in 45cal.

FPB's can be found for 13bucks or so on line.I found them local once for 9 bucks so I stocked up.Have the Traditions hit the market yet? I have not seen them.How did they do on paper with your 100yard shot?
|
I shoot FPBs in my Remington (Traditions) Genesis. I find that if you pre-size the bullets, you can load with fingers. Just remove your breechplug and insert bullets into the muzzle nose first. Slide them through the bore and out the breech onto a soft surface. I do the whole pack when I buy them. Makes loading a snap.
|
Norby, That sounds like a novel idea. Question is though. Do you get the rifling cut in to the bullet doing this and if you do, do you line up the rifling grooves when loading?
|
Not with my bore. I do see faint marks left by rifling, but the rifling does not cut a groove in the copper. No need to index upon loading. All the pre-sizing really does is reduce the diameter of the skirt to the size of the bore.
