Regarding FPBs being hard to load;
Not with my Omega either. No harder than a snug sabot, no pre-sizing needed.
It really depends on your gun's barrel.

Agree with Hubby11 ,my X7 Omega shoots the 350gr FPB light outs and loads no harder then a .452 DC in a crush rib sabot .Darn good groups from White Power Punch and No Excuses too.
Wilson barrels could solve all problems !!!!

All ML barrels vary slightly regardless of the make.
Are you saying that a Bergara .500 barrel is smaller than a non Bergara .500 barrel? Dimensions don't change just because of the manufacturer.
The point is, people shoot the FPB in small bored guns all the time. Don't be so broad in your assessments of functionality.

I've had 3 CVA's, and they all took a .500 Thor. The same with Jon.
I tried the FPB in all my CVA's, and couldn't get them started.
So, i'm assuming all the Bergara CVA's have a .500 bore.
I asked Hornady what the diameter of the FPB is, and they told me .503. Western Powder found out the same thing. See link below.
I'm finding it hard to believe that a .503 bullet can get down a tight bore.
Does your gun have a Bergara barrel. Not a hard question.
