BuglemintodayHornady FPB?
Anyone used em? Lets discuss experiences and what you like about them.
Found this on the web for those who haven't heard of them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liqk1CpAUwssounded like it was a few years old;havent heard of them before this.
A full bore size jacketed conical that uses no sabot interests me.
now its not exactly a jacketed bullet. in fact its just a coating to prevent that alloy lead from building up in your barrel. If you look at them in the stores, you'll see cracks through out the bullet and see the lead core.

LeeHIn my .50 cal Encore, this is the most accurate bullet I have found. It will shoot to less than 1" at 100 yds, from a bench, very easy to load and I've had no complaints from the deer

WesternmassmanCan't load them in my Knight unless I use a 3# hammer!

ReloaderMuch tougher than PBs. Great bullets, but some guns will not shoot them worth a hoot.
I have tried them in an Encore, Omega, Knight, and an Optima so far. The only two rigs that shot them well were the Encore and Omega, but they were very finicky about the load.

makeminestainlessTried them in a TC Triumph and a Traditions (1/32 twist) Buckhunter Pro rifle. After several powder combinations I could not get them to group.
