Lyman Plains bullets 395gr First test

[exMember]

Not bad at all!! 50 yards today with my Traditions St.Louis Hawken .50cal shooting a Lyman 395gr conical over 80gr Alliant Black MZ. They load very nice! Snug at the top loading band and then go right down with a little resistance. No swabbing was needed to sustain accuracy, which is great for hunting in case you need another shot or 2. First 3 shots then a total of 5. Next up, I will run it out to 100 yards and see how low she shoots.I'm about to guess around 6" low. Also, check out that smashed up bullet I recovered from the tires! I'll try them in my Winchester X-150 as well.

recoil wasn't bad to be honest. I may kick it up to 90gr and see, but normally 80gr 2fg with conicals seems to be best all around.

That’s some fine shooting there Jonathan.
I love recovering bullets. I’ll go outta my way to see how they performed, or the terminal ballistics so to speak.
