Parker 440 gr Hydra Con bullets, 50 cal

[Gary Northrop]

Any advice about the best Triple 7 load for this projectile?

My advise is to go shoot it and work up a load for your gun, What works great for another might not for you and your gun?

I have shot MANY Bullets in this weight range through my .50 Cals, If it were me I would start at 70-80 Grains of powder, I would also use a .54 Cal (Oversize) 1/8” Wool felt over powder wad, Triple 7 is a HOT Burning powder, You want to Protect the Bullet base as that is what actually steers the Bullet.

This is what the wads look like, this is the brand i use. I would try them in both .50 and .54 Cal, A .54 Cal Wool felt wad is Simple to load in a .50 Cal bore
