Precision Rifle "Dead Center" bullets

Has any tried the Precision Rifle "dead center" Bullets? I have a TC Omega in .45 and was interested if anyone had tried these bullets in the same or similar gun?

I have not tried them myself, but a lot of BP shooters consider them the best choice of all for fast-twist barrels!!

Yes, they are outstanding. I've tried them in a dozen different muzzleloaders, and the 220 grain Dead Centers do well in anything with a 1:28 twist barrel. Shot them in a .45 caliber Encore, which is the same barrel as your Omega.

Randy,
sounds promising, any information on powder, charge, velocity and groups?

Cecil Epp is amazingly good at selecting the best bullet for YOUR gun and hunting / shooting conditions, and the only muzzleloading bullet manufacturer (that I know of) that will do it, and do it right.

If you e-mail Cecil at sales@prbullet.com, tell him what your specific rifle / game animal / shooting distances are-- he will delect the optimum bullet for YOU and YOUR gun and YOUR needs. Tell him "Randy says hello."

As for groups-- 100 gr. Triple 7 and 220 grain Dead Centers have gotten me sub-1" at 100 yards via two Austin & Halleck 420s and an Encore with two different barrels. And, I am not a good shot! Not done with my Chrono work-- expect around 1900 fps, depending on your gun.

Randy,
Thanks again, I will contact Cecil and get his recommendations. I would be quite satisfied if I can get even 1.5' groups at 100, considering the variability of actual powder charge, bullet seating pressure and barrel fouling.

Have used the PR bullets and got excellant accuracy(not as good as Randy) and they worked very well on our northern whitetail.Would highly reccomend them.
