I finally had a chance to test some copper bullets at the 100 yard range. These bullets shot reasonably well for me, next time I will try wool wads and up the charge a few grains and see if I can squeeze any more accuracy out of them.
The XPB's were knurled then Full Formed in my Brux die. The backstop at the range is composed of rocks, sand, and dirt; very hard on bullets
TSX's were annealed then Full Formed in the Brux die, I did try to size these bullets before annealing but it was impossible for me to do
I used my RemBrux .45, 209 breech plug, 700ML muzzleloader
69 gr IMR4198 for both bullets
.060 veggie wad
Fed 209A primer
3 shot groups
Top group is the 275 gr XPB, I had a bullet hole on the target from some fouling/sighter shots so that is why the tape is there
Lower group is the 300 gr TSX
After shooting the top group, the scope was adjusted 8 clicks down and then the TSX shot
