My experience was yes they foul a bit more than most cup and core bullets but otherwise I never had a problem in my bolt guns including my 416 Weatherby. Just don't use starting loads intended for cup and core bullets or even the banded variety. Start a bit lower and as always work up slowly.

They have a reputation for fouling bores and veering off course in game animals. Practice buulets only in my opinion. 465H&H | |||

Listen Pal (Michael.0458), If I want to shoot around corners, these are the bullets to do it with!  NRA Lifer; DSC Lifer; SCI member; DRSS; AR member since November 9 2003 Don't Save the best for last, the smile for later or the "Thanks" for tomorow | |||

Good idea, Bill. I've got some of them laying around that need that treatment. Just haven't done it. | |||

Could they be chucked up in a lathe and some bands cut in them? I have a bunch of these too and was wondering what to do with them as well. | |||

If you are going to throw them away throw them at me. I chuck them in a lathe and add the grooves. It works quite well. I even ground a multi- groove tool for the job. I have a lot of old Barnes .474's. They shoot well in my .470 NE once you remove the blue wax and groove them. I have also done .416's.....Tom SCI lifer NRA Patron DRSS DSC | |||

I shoot them all the time in my .450 Dakota. Amazing accuracy and no fouling problems. Blake | |||

They do take up a lot more powder space than lead cored solids. Not a problem in a 416 Rigby but could cost you some velocity in a 416 Remington. I got excellent accuracy and penetration (in a straight line) with them in the Rigby. In a 458 Win. they performed well but I had to compress the loads so much I had to run the loaded rounds back into the sizing die because the brass was swollen. The long hard bearing surface will also spike your pressure. NRA Endowment Member DRSS | |||
