Anyone tried these?

Bought these to try out in my .50 cal Omega...matching with green Harvester Crush Rib sabot. We'll see how they work. Going to use Triple 7 and BH 209.

Hornady shows these for .444 Magnum. I didn't try them because I didn't think I'd be loading to that level. I'm sure someone has tried it.

Here's what Hornady says: Designed to perform at muzzle velocities from 1,600 to 2,600 fps. That suited me well enough to give them a try. We'll try them out and see. Will post results.

I shoot the .458 325 grain version out of my .52 Knight.

They shoot very well. I have not taken game with one to date. I have no doubt they would do just fine.

I'm going to try these next with a MMP orange sabot. I'm like you Josmund, I think I can make them shoot with a little experimenting.

I have harvested 2 deer with the 265 gr ftx. Both deer went maybe 25yds. Blood everywhere. Never recovered bullets. One shot was about 30 yds and the other 75yds. These r very accurate for me as well. Just my experiences.

What powder and what grain charge?

110 gr bh209
110 gr t7 2f

I'm guessing that charge should be approx somewhere in-the-middle of what that bullet likes in fps.

That sounds right to me also. I don't have a chrony. I am an average shooter and I could group these at 1.5" - 2" with consistency at 100 yds. Someone who is a shooter could do better I am sure. Internal damage was immense. I think it is a pretty darn good white tail bullet. I used Harvested plain green sabots with the bullet.
