2017 buck by a hunter who used my bullet/load at just under 100yds on a field dressed 200# deer. The young man loved the load in his UL.

This 45 cal bullet worked very well in a sabot...
390gr. HP went thru a 6pt at 130yards - only deer I shot in a sabot. Shot out of an Encore 50cal (1:28)

The Encore also shot this 500gr bullet well.

2nd place in the 1st NMLRA In-line match.

Best ML bullet made for 45 (1:20 or 1;18) made about a decade ago, 525gr HP. Also, has shot 50 5x at 200yds more than not.
8 shots total; 5 shots in the X (3 in 1 hole, 2 in the other)

525gr HP. Bullet recovered under hyde on far side from an IN 8pt at 429yds. Buck dropped.

Also made a 50, like this 45 - but it didn't shoot as well at LR as the 45..

I made the 1st mold, then gave it to the young hunter.
Had Accurate copy it - the one shown " #50-488 Tapered ML" p.18 in online catalog.
Since Accurate does not HP, I did it.

Nice Display on the molds. They seem to work . Rifles and twist?
Results - on paper or kill...
Edited for twist.
Added a few other photos.
 
Made this for a 50 1:24 twist, guy wants to use on Elk. Modified an existing mold. So far, he loves the way it shoots as he's shooting open sights.

555 solid

540gr HP
