Great report and Great shooting Lew ! What people may fail to realize is Lew is shooting with Iron sights and not using a scope.

I have a Paper Patch Version (Very similar) of this New Bullet that i had Made Long ago

Bullet on the Left, The Parent Bullet was a .460 S&W, I had several Changes made, And for it to Drop at .443 So i could Paper Patch it

It shoots REALLY WELL This is Funny for me to look back on, This was in my VERY Beginning of Muzzleloading, I shot this 3 Shot Group (Open sights) and was Proud as Pete of it this was with my GM LRH 45 Cal, 1-30 Twist

I had 4 Of these to Shoot, But I didn’t DARE Shoot the 4th one and Chance Ruining the Perfect Little Clover leaf Group i had just Shot, So i took a Picture of the 3 Shot Group, Then Re-Loaded and Shot the 4th one, As you can See the 4th Shot didn’t Hurt my Group Much BUT Back in this Time i had a LOT of NOT SO GREAT Outings (I was learning, ON MY OWN) I wasn’t about to Ruin this one!

Both of those bullets should perform great in a 1-30" twist LRH. Love the wide metplat.
