Default Can you I.D. This conical?

I just started sighting in my 54cal Remegade. I just couldn't get it to shot PB very well. And had these conicals I'm an old box. So I pured 90grs of RS down the muzzle followed by these, and they shoot great. Probem is other them I know there 54cal ammo, I don't know the weight. Can it be ID'ed by the picture? It's copper coated, hollow point with a red plastic material fixed to the bottom. Sorry not sure how to transfer photo.

that looks like a copper clad powerbelt. Does the small red thing on the bottom pop off easy? If so I would say its a .54 caliber usually 405 grain (my Renegade shoots them well too) Powerbelt.

Yes pops off Easley. Has like a little nipple that holds the red thing on. Is power belt a name brand?

Depending on how old it is it could be a powerbelt or the original "black belt" bullet. Was renamed after being bought by CVA. It is one of the copper HP (hollow point)bullets. The current powerbelts use the red plastic for 54 cal, so it is probably a powerbelt in 348 or 405 gr
