The Lyman .50 Caliber Shocker

Any of you fellas ever tried some of these rascals, the Lyman "shocker" bullets?

Not me. Looks like it'll get er done though.

Yeah, need to try it out seriously jacked up in a thick breached New Englander or Renegade.

They look a little long for a 1:48

They do. But I think that's what Lyman made them for.

Looks like the 454190 but with ginormous lube grooves, what is the mold number?

It's Lyman's #508668.
I don't have a .50 Great Plains Hunter barrel but hopefully the big lube grooves are going to help it fly straight with a TC four foot twist.

Speaking of #454190, Lyman also made a muzzleloader version of the #454190 at one point, putting bigger lube grooves in it and a hollow base and calling it #454613. Later on they came out with a traditionally styled minie mold with the same number, muddying the waters as they were prone to do on occasion. Maybe back then they were selling .45 bore rifles.

There was a 454613 for sale on evil bay. I liked the looks of it and had a couple ideas for experimenting and use, but it was $150 and I think that’s ridiculous.
