i was throwing 455/456 gr and measured the boolit at 501 to 502. I some tested and ron got them I think at 503. it is an odd shape.

just had some lead i bought off flee bay, dead soft. when I get the mold back i cast some up when I get some time.

I was given the specs for a mold that can be bought for $90.00.it's a .460 gr .50 cal bullet that is almost a dead ringer the the NE and bullshop .460 gr .50 cal..and is very accurate in the 1:28 twist 50 cal rifles..

My brother used to shoot 470 gr Maxiballs in his 50 cal T/C Thunderhawk with 100 loose Pyrodex. They sure wilted the deer.

wooooo baby!!! Its a tiny bit high at 100 yards and DEADLY accurate. I surprised the heck out of myself and gave myself a pat on the back for not losing my open sight shooting ability.

I noticed however that if i keep the bore cool between shots, the bullets tend to cut each others hole and stay in real tiny groups. Found this out when i took 2 shots and then was fumbling around with the shooting tabel " sunk into the mud" and when i got back, i reloaded and felt the barrel was cold. On the following shot, it egged out my first shot hole :D

Im going crazy over the accuracy of this bullet!

Corey, you need to ditch that T7 and get either some pyrodex p or RS to play with, especially with this bullet!

Pictures coming up later, i want to cast a bunch of these before i give corey his mold back LOL. Yes.... i will be ordering my own mold after this!

recovered one on the range this evening. Great expansion/ weight retention. Nice deep rifling groves in the bullet as well. Thats good news, its sealing up in the bore when the powder goes off. I will have to chronograph them next time out. Will upload pics as soon as i label everything.

Didn't bother with the 75 yard group pictures, Heres the 100 yard target and recovered bullet.



444.6 grains recovered weight.

Great shooting! the big lead works well on game lol.

yeah i'd love to plow something with that freight train. You should hear the wack! when it hits the dirt berm

Not bad for a 1:48 twist shooting a chunk of lead. I can only imagine how the 1:32 mountain stalker will do. Ughhh. Thats when a 6lb rifle feels ugly.... LOL

That bullet would be an elk hammer. Are you guys sizing those bulets?? You might want to try a 50/50 mix of WW and pure lead for that bullet for elk. If you could size it properly for a good fit(ease of loading) they would work perfectly. Tom.

Tom i dont resize them, I use them as they drop from the mold. Around .501 to .502 depending how you measure them. I probably could mix in a little WW but either way, its going to leave an elk with a serious hole in his side. The flat face of the bullet will really help ensure it mushrooms.

Going to experiment with a concave nose as well once i find something to cut it out with.
