Nice looking boolit. Spire point, copper coated, hollow base, wieghs 350 grains.
Package says they load easy. Not in my T/C .50 Green Moungtain Hunter! I had to tap them pretty hard to bite the rifling then they went down easy enough.
My 1st shot at 50 was with 80 grains Goex, (read REAL BLACK POWDER):D
and the boolit cut the "X"X ring dead center.
Should have left well enough alone but I upped the charge to 105 grains 2fg.
Boolit shot high and I spoiled the group because I flinched on the last shot.
(yes guys, even I get the flinchies somethimes):(

I think I'll drop down to 90 grains which ought to be plenty for whitetail deer.
