Favorite all lead bullet.........

I shoot 460 gr Hornady great plains out of my Black diamond with 100 gr of triple 7

Have you tried the 385 gr?

[Opportunist]

  I shoot the 480 gr. white bullet out of my .50 ca. Remington 700 with 105 grains of pyrodex r/s select. I've bought triple 7 but haven't shot for group yet. I'm also switching to the 600 grain white bullet.

  Sabots shoot real well but I don't like how the plastic fouls my barrel. I also muzzleload in Oregon and sabotted bullets aren't legal, either are the 600 gr. whites (bullets cannot be more than twice the length of the diameter) so I'll shoot the 480's when I hunt across the river.

I like the Bufalo Bullet's.  I use 219 gr., with a 100 gr of pyrodex pellets.  Ive been hitting the sweet spot
@ 100 and 150 yrds, iron sight.  I like that combo for short range.  Will hit hard and do the trick.

A 219 grain Buffalo Bullet? I've never seen that one. Seems awful light. The ones I shoot are 375 grains.

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I tried the PR bullet in my Knight bighorn, didn't like the groups i was getting, back to the knight 310 grain and back to good groups. I use 110 grain pyrodex, i am going to switch to the american pioneer this year. My buddy uses it in his white and loves it. No bullet seating problems, and it is easy to use.

219 gr. is fine under 150 yrds for deer.  For elk Id go at least 400gr or better

So far I have been able to test the Knight 310 grain sabots with some good success.

I am wondering if anyone has tried the Knight Hydra-Con's?

You do any testing with the amrican pioneer yet?

I know this thread is older.But the gun shop in Longview has the Buffalo Bullets in stock.A pretty good selection too.

Thanks HntnFsh. That is a good thing to know!

I get great accuracy with the Precision Rifle Dead Center 300 grain bullets pushed with 100 grains of pyrodex.

[Blsum]

After sighting in my T/C black diamond with the dead center 300grn sabots with 100grns pyrodex pellets. I tried shooting some 290 grn power belts and I couldn't even get it on paper at 100yrds. I absolutely love the dead center sabots, and highly recomend them to anyone.

Tried darn near every one on the market.  And in both my CVA and mt Thompson  Power belts and Hornady Great Plains get the nod.

With the power belts my Thompson likes the 295's!   The CVA loves the 385 Hornadys.  Have found that I get better accuracy with pryodex rather than TTT.

I've tried the Buffalo bullets and the maxi-balls out of my Lyman and wasn't impressed with their accuracy. Grouping wasn't very good and both were tight and hard to load. Round balls shot really well and I actually hunted with them my first season elk hunting but they didn't have much of an impact on both the deer and the elk that were shot with them. I think the hole was too clean for it to be considered really effective. I've switched over to the Power Belt 405 grain all lead hollow points. These load easy and shoot well. I'm shooting a 2 inch group at 100 yards which is as good as I can do with iron sights I've shot both deer and elk and the damage is nothing less than spectacular, pass through on both with lots of blood and shattered bone. The only one I've recovered was one that got lodged in an elk AFTER shattering the spine. It was flattened out and about the size of a nickle but still intact and probably retained 75% of it's original weight. The 405's are a little hard to find (.54 cal) but 385s are almost everywhere and shoot equally well out of my brothers CVA.

Knight lead sabot 310 grain. Shooting 2 1/2" with peep site and 1" groups with scope.

I'm with actionshooter on this one ... I'm shooting 2 inch groups with open sights at 100 with this bullet! When I hunt Oregon I use 300 grn Cva  Buckslayers and get a 3 1/2 inch group.
