Thanks for the Update, Looks like they would be a Good .50 Cal Bullet for Colorado Elk & Moose.
Yes, it is a shame on the FPB. The problem is they made those in .506” Diameter for TC Encore & Omegas with QLA. If people didn’t have a Sizing Die they couldn’t use them in other Rifles.
I wonder what the Dimensions of the Bore Drivers are?
Didn't realize this. No wonder they shoot so well in my EncoreYes, it is a shame on the FPB. The problem is they made those in .506” Diameter for TC Encore & Omegas with QLA. If people didn’t have a Sizing Die they couldn’t use them in other Rifles.

They couldn't say if they were Colorado legal yet or not. Still awaiting approval at that time.
I wonder if a warden would know they weren't Powerbelts?
Has anybody checked to see if the Harvester Saber Tooth bullets are legal?
Law says it has to be a full bore conical. Isn't that what a Bore Driver is?
I can save myself some grief and use No Excuses.
That wouldn't leave many bullets that would be legal. The majority of members here don't like Powerbelts but you go into a gun shop here that stocks muzzleloaders supplies and you mostly just see Powerbelts. Ask the gun shop if they get many complaints about PB's failing and they'll say no, not any. I've asked that question a lot. I know PB makes 6 million bullets a year. If they all sell that's a lot of hunters using them. We see a small percentages of the hunters on forums. There's 2 million muzzy hunters in the US.Ok, if you take into account the bullet can expand slightly as it pushes forward under pressure then it might touch the rifling. But it was designed to depend on the base for imparting spin. This is also covered clearly in the video. To me, if the bullet itself falls freely down the bore and needs something else to hold it in place before firing, then it isn't a bore fit bullet. I don't know why some states care about this anyway, but they do.
