I guess all rifles are different Ron........
I guess all rifles are different Ron........
ive been using the .444gr powerbelt with only 70gr of Blackhorn 209. A slow moving soft bullet that mushrooms perfectly at the slower velocities and exits! I gave up trying to make my muzzle loader into a high powered rifle, it works for me.
Of course they do and have existed for ages. Its called a lead conical and you can buy them for less than $50/100 at Bullshop Bullets. You can buy them at NoExcuses from around $28/50 and many other vendors also. Bullshop just happens to offer a 440gr 50cal conical too.
In affect you ARE making it into a high powered rifle. You are basically shooting a 45-70 to 45-90 that loads through the muzzle.
The one with the stubby red tip is the now discontinued T/C PTX. I bought a large quantity of these in 300 grain and they shoot very well out of my Knight Disc Elite with 105 grains 777 FFF and a MMP sabot. Performance has been on par with what folks say on this forum.300gr XTP and 300gr XTP MAG on the left. I think far right is the Sierra 458 300gr FNHP which is a great bullet for ML speeds.
well how is a 45-70 a high velocity rifleI should have been more clear, I'm not one to chase high velocities trying to mimic a modern center fire rifle.
VERY NICE !!!Two RemBrux .45 cal 700ML's will be loaded with a Bear Creek Ballistics 285 grain all copper ball point
Two Apex 45 cal's will be loaded with 275 grain all copper Barnes XPB
Every thing else gets a 250 grain Barnes all copper TEZ in a Harvester smooth black sabot
well how is a 45-70 a high velocity rifle
