zackcarp Report post Posted April 6, 2016 Im looking for some 50 cal conicals 400 gr or more for my elk hunt. The heaviest I can find are the hornady great plains hp at 385. Google has been letting me down. Im shooting a traditional percussion great plains hunter with the 1-32 in. twist. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted April 6, 2016 I knew a guy who would fill the hollow points with lead to get a heavier bullet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted April 6, 2016 I don't think google let you down - I doubt you'll find and that will be made to fire in your rifle - now midway has 400 + grain 50 cal bullets made for powderless and state can be used in muzzleloaders but 20 in barrel- most likely with modern twist good luck why wouldn't the 385's be enough ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zackcarp Report post Posted April 7, 2016 I just wanted something with a little more umff... just from other threads i have read. I will most likely stay with my 385s, but just curious if anyone knew of, or used anything heavier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Sparky Report post Posted July 24, 2018 You want to stay all lead or go with a sabot? The twist rate should be fine for sabots if legal. I use to shoot XTP's in sabots out of my percussion St. Louis Hawken with a 1 in 48 twist. In my inline I killed my first bull with a 250 grain Shock Wave at 200 yards, one shot through the heart, 1 in 28 twist. Then I decided I needed to get closer and got a bow.

sebhunter Report post Posted July 24, 2018 No Excuses are great bullets! I have used the 460 grain in 50 cal. Shot a mule deer buck in NM at 90 yards he acted like he got hit by a truck! My son also dropped a big cow elk in NM at @110 with the same bullet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
