    320 grain projectiles are cast pure lead conicals
    balls for a 50 cal are about 180 grain but my rifles twist is to fast for balls and it rips the patches to pieces
    I would like to have been able to use the balls for practice on hares and rabbits but I'm very happy with how the bigger projectiles are shooting.

    The conicals are very accurate with the telescope set up and grouping around 30mm at 50m

    I also have a mold for 400 grain projectiles and will start trying them for if in the future I go after a bull tahr.

    I'm using 80 grains of Holy Smoke FFFG because the barrel is only 25" long
    I run the faster FFFG and am getting around 1500 fps with the 320 grainer
