Thanks Willfish! Closer inspection of the box of bullets upon arriving home from work reveals that they're not "No Excuses" after all.... Made by King Shooter's Supply. Called "Better Bullets"In reply to Razor62:
One thing to be cautious of with harder alloys is exactly that- they can be hard. When starting a conical at the muzzle pure soft lead will be much easier than same size 1:20 or 1:40 alloy etc. to start in the bore and to get down the bore. So if you’re bore measures say .451 you can generally force a .453 or even larger of pure lead into and down the barrel. If an alloy bullet is too much over bore size it can be next to impossible to load. Hard alloys can have different POI than their lead counterparts also. For in depth info on this read up on Idaho Lewis here. He’s done tons of testing of shooting, sizing, and pouring alloys

"Super hard cast alloy bullets" 230 grain, sized to .452".
I'll try to load one of them today and if it gives me any trouble I'll forget about the whole idea. Thanks for your valuable advice
I second that. 80 is good all around loadI believe IdahoLewis would say 80 gr of Swiss 2F.
Stuff them in sabots and plink with them, if you have a .50. If your barrel twist is very fast, you’ll have to back your powder charge way down. I’d try them out of your .45 also, they might shoot. Their again you’ll probably have to back powder off considerably, like 50-60 grains of BP or BP subs. 300-350 grain range lead bullets out of my 1:20 twist .45 cal White won’t shoot with more than about 70 grains of powder, I have to stay around 60 grains.Thank you gentlemen. I did load just one today and it wasn't a very tight fit. I was out of time so I didn't experiment but I wouldn't expect great accuracy judging by the fit to bore.
I kinda' figured that they were handgun, ACP bullets.
I'll stick to lead bullets.
