Title: HORNADY FPB 350GR
Post by: Forrestrover on August 30, 2009, 04:11:42 PM

Shot a few of these yesterday out of my T/C Black Diamond. These are the non-saboted, copper-jacketed bullets. Seemed to shoot fine. Fed down the barrel snug but smooth. Thinking of using for elk this year.
Has anyone else tried these?

 I tried these last week grouped perfect 8 shots almost all touching each other at 75 yards i usually shoot powerbelts and group pretty good with those but i think i'm gonna go with the FPB

There was a thread a while back and a couple of people were having problems with them.  I haven’t tried them myself and don’t plan to.

I was using 90 grains of Pyrodex.
