Youll be fine as is .I was just goofing around. That took about 10 minutes to cut that one tip.
I do think these will expand well and should shoot pretty well, as is.
The hollow point is 0.125"+/- at the top cut at an 8 degree angle to .300" +/- long, depending on how much material was removed when I rounded the tip.
I have switched from Pyro Select/777 to shooting Swiss currently. I only have two rifles I shoot BH out of, my Accura and Austin Halleck
So here’s the first two groups with this bullet shot from my .504 White S91 at 100 yards. Light crosswind.
The first group was shot with the bullets sized to .5075 with a .50 wad and swabbing between shots.
The group marked with a 2 was shot with the bullets sized to .505 and shot on a dirty bore. The low shot was first shot. The other two that hit in the tape are what I expect with my rifle. This is how it usually shoots when shooting that way, first shot AFTER the fouler is ALWAYS low...I wish I had sized a few more down to .505, I only did three.
0.506-0.5065 might be the sweet spot for this gun. Gotta build some more dies I guess. In .50 cal I have built four dies. .5075, .505, .5035, .4995....
I like shooting on a fouled bore cause that’s what will happen in a hunting situation if I blow the first shot.
These two groups were shot with 80 gns w Swiss 2f. I’m not gonna post the target shot with the Accura V2, using 90 gns v BH209 it’s down right embarrassing. They shot absolutely horrid...
I was getting lead out of that CVA too, my damp patch had lots a shiny flecks in it. It’s a Bergara barrel, which, I have heard good and bad about. Needs some bore paste I think...Awesome Stuff my Friend!!
I would Cut that CVA Muzzle Back and Re-Crown it, GET RID of that BGM Muzzle (CVA’s Form of QLA) I personally would not Have a Rifle with ANY form of QLA Muzzle, There is Simply NO NEED for anything like that
Here is my Rice 1:20 Twist, I would Make That CVA Muzzle look like this My Green Mountain LRH Barrels are Crowned like this as well
