MichiganHunter Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 are you looking for a full bore sized round?....power belts are about the only ones I ever see information about....but I have been using the t.c. shockwave in 200gr for the last, oh, 3 or 4 years and have never hit a deer that went more than 45 yards....infact last year I shot one doe and the bullet passed threw her and hit the other doe that was abou 12 yards behind her(It was in the woods and i didn't see the other doe show up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMort Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 We use the Hornady FPB which are the full bore bullets without sabots. Shoot 100 grains 777 out of Encores with 1.5 to 2 inch groups at 100. Not the tightest but when that 350 grain bullet slams a deer, it's like hitting them with a ton of bricks. Good expansion great penetration and they don't come apart like some other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I used the FPB this year for the first time and they were great. I shot a small elk at 75 yrds and the bullet went through both shoulders and left a 4" exit hole. I was shooting this whith 120gr of t7. With open sights I was getting a 3" group at 100yrds.

Dakota Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I used the FPB this year for the first time and they were great. I shot a small elk at 75 yrds and the bullet went through both shoulders and left a 4" exit hole. I was shooting this whith 120gr of t7. With open sights I was getting a 3" group at 100yrds. Very nice! :clap: I haven't used sabots in 5 or 6 years, my in-lines had a lot better performance with Maxi-ball 370 gr. conicals than they did any sabot I tried. Anymore though, my gun of choice has been my CVA Mountain Stalker traditional caplock and, while I can still shoot conicals out of it, I've begun using 175 gr. patched round balls. However, imho, if I ever went back to sabots I would use Hornady over anything else. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerhead Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The Thorbullets look really impressive. However seem to be hard to find. I did not find any at BassPro. Must be mail order only. This a new company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSmoke Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Bullets without sabots I have used two bullets that fall into this catagory. I really like the T/C Maxi-Hunter and the Hornady FPB. Try both and see which one shoots best in your rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
