question on thor bullets?

[horsefly]

ok guys over the summer i want to try some thor's in 300gr. but what i need to know short of makin a slug of my barrel (i dont know what its called when you make a cast of your bore) how can i determin what sive to order? in my gun ap pursuist lt a 300gr. .452 45 cal xtp with a harvester crush rib is snug and shoots perfect, non crush ribs are real snug and a fbp was way to tight. so how nad i determin what size to order? or should i buy one of the slug things and make a exact size of bore slug and measure from there? also was told like i said told i did not see it that the fbp came out they were tight in most guns but are ok now? anyone else have a idea on this? and also what about barns? its that its just gettin pricey for me to keep buyin stuff so i figure if i can eliminate say sabots i can over time get ahead maybe. cause i just cant bring myself to go back to a center fire rifle after using a muzzle loader!! i will keep my shotgun for quick thick places and drives but other than that my center fire days are done.

I've not ordered any, but I know he offers a sample pack containing one of each size. Might pay you to ask for that before ordering a bunch.

Okay FG. What am I looking for in ordering that pack? I assume it is one of each? Am I looking to size based on loading or shotting? If shooting that opens a whole lot of doors on powders etc., One shot ain't gonna tell me much? If fit on loading, what should I look at? Sort of clueless on these sample packs and trying them ?? I do not want to waste the owners time and money to just have some!

From what I understand, the sample pack if for loading size. Take the breachplug out and slide one down the bore. If it loads too easily or slips through, try the next size. I believe it should take 20-30 lbs of pressure to load. Sit the butt of your rifle on a bath scale.

exactly what shooter said. It takes about 40lbs to get one seated in my Accura but only 20-25 to get it down my dads cabelas hawken, but in all fairness, his barrel has 2 different sizes inside of it :shock:

The sizing sample comes with one of each size .500-.501-.502-.503" Start with the smallest and see how it does, too loose? loaded up the next bigger size. You want light engraving on the bullet.
