No Excuses Bullets
« on: October 10, 2020, 08:23:19 AM »
While looking for a close range destroyer, I came across the No Excuses bullet line. Bought the 600 and 500 grain in .503 for a Knight Bighorn. Dave sells them in various sizes and offers variety packs.

The 600 grain stabilizes very well and hits HARD! Recoil is no joke but the Knight is well built and makes recoil management fine. Bullet is easy to start but snug in the rifling. 80 grains volume/63 by weight of Triple Se7en 3FG and a #11 cap was the clear winner for accuracy and repeatability.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I like they have a sizing pack of .050 to .055 on .001 steps so you can order perfect fit.

Wow, 600gr? You'll have to aim at the sun when shooting at anything 100 yards away..lol

What’s the advantage of these bullets over a solid copper? I grew up hunting elk with 500g lead powerbelts and there performance sucked. The newer solid coppers are sure great.

Being able to hunt Idaho  :tup:

Definitely isn't a perfect do it all muzzleloader bullet especially when states rules are taken into consideration. I agree that the Powerbelts leave something to be desired in performance. If they'd make a thicker copper jacket...

Wow, 600gr? You'll have to aim at the sun when shooting at anything 100 yards away..lol

Like I said, "close range destroyer"

Any idea what you’re getting for velocity?

I bought the trial pack and was disappointed. Lube was half falling out. The bases were not sharp but dinged. Just a bad experience and no excuse for me to buy more. Try Bullshop in Saco Montana.

I got one chrono reading, 1270.

I've ordered and shot from BullShop before. Definitely nothing wrong with them.

Sucks about your trial pack. I've got 5 boxes and every bullet looks like the one in MW picture above. Lube perfectly packed and bullets tightly contained.

Has anybody tried the No Excuses Sabots?  Either the boat tail or the flat base?

Gary
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset
