I just bought a bag of 50 cal. 420 gr. Shocker bullets.
Anyone on the forum ever shoot them in a 1/48 twist barrel? If it will stabilize, it should make one heck of an Elk or Bear round.
Tried them in either a TC Hawken or a Greyhawk several years ago. Don't remember the precise load. Do remember they didn't group well. Think I was getting flyers. Had better luck with 350 Maxi Hunters in my 1:48 barrels.
I wasn't swabbing between shots, at the time. Maybe they'd have worked OK if I had.

Thanks Bob! I use maxi hunters in my T/C's and they like them. I ran across a bag of these today at my local gun shop, and decided to give them a try, if this rain and snow will let up :grin: If they don't shoot well , I'll melt them down and make Lee Real bullets, and balls :thumbsup:
how do the 380gr real bullets in 54 cal do for hunting, they are not hollow point but then again neither are round balls and they work nice. I have some I ordered from cheep shots but if they shoot well I may order the mould. Just wondering how they do on hunting?
