I
don’t know if you remember but last year you sold me the Extreme Elite bullet
for my Thunderhawk, made by TC Arms, and I was having trouble with the accuracy
until you gave me some suggestions on powder amounts, which made all the
difference for the combination that I was shooting.
I
am proud to say that it worked perfect when it needed to most for me, I shot
this elk on the third day of a special permit hunt at 98 yards at a very steep
angle, the elk only went about 8 yards before expiring (click picture to
enlarge). I would suggest these bullets to anyone who enjoys muzzle loading.
Thanks again Dave Allen.
Hi Ray,
This deer I recently took during muzzleloader season using a
CVA 50. cal inline using your .25 ACP breech plug system. The bullet was a
245gr.Barnes spitfire. Powder charge was 3 - 50gr Pyrodex pellets. The shot was
192 yards with the bullet traveling through both lungs and between the ribs. (No
Bone contact) After firing the shot which was over the backs of two does to hit
the buck, which was a 8" inch window over the does. The buck ran 175 yards
before falling over dead in a thicket. I was only able to find 3 drops of blood
of about the size of the end of a "Q" tip. Needless to say, tracking was
somewhat awful being no snow on the ground. His hoof track is basically all I
had to go by. After 15 minutes of tracking I found the deer piled up in the
nearby thicket where I saw him run too. He bled out entirely inside his chest
cavity. The exit wound was exactly the size of the entrance wound (no expansion
at all). Basically like shooting a full metal jacket. Nice sweet long range
with the Barnes spitfire but poor expansion of the bullet. Still an awesome shot
for any gun. But I do love the ease of a good blood trail.
As for the .25
ACP system, It rocks!! At 200 yards and 150gr Pyrodex pellets and bench rested I
am placing minus 3"inch groups 6"inches low. At 125 yards I am 2"inches high
cutting bullet for bullet and swabbing with a spit patch on all shots. Never to
return to the 209 system. Next year I will try another style of bullet. The
Barnes tipped MZ with its large hollow point looks like possibility or Hornady's
new SST.
Have a nice and Happy new year Ray!
Ray Thanks so much for the time you spent with me on
the phone answering all my questions. The other day I finally got the time to
shoot and try out the new VariFlame Primer Adapters. All I can say is wow it is
the first time I shot like this with a muzzle loader at 100 yards. My hunting
buddies can't believe it as well. These bullets (Dead Center 200 grain) are the
real deal also the powder flask really works great and makes it simple to make
your loads. I will be calling in another order real soon. Thanks again and good
shooting. I am enclosing a picture of a group I shot. Click image to enlarge
it.
Thanks, Frank Tansley Beachwood NJ
Ray Just wanted to tell you I received the super rat. Went to the range today
and started playing with different bullets. Started with No excuse 460 grain.
Shot OK. Before I went home I tried your QT 300 grain 44 cal bullet. Loaded them
into Gonic sabots that measure.500. Shot 90 grain of 777. Group at 50 yds was
3/4" all bullets touching, no paper in between. Group was shot on 3x scope
setting. Seemed to kick less than 460 conicals. Still need to try different
grains of 777. But very happy. Still need to shoot Dead Centers. Will Dead
Centers and QT's shoot the same if they are both 300 grain .44 cal bullets.
Thanks, Bill Lynch
Hello Ray,
Well
the time on the shooting range with different loads and bullets paid off. With
your help I had settled on a 235 grain QT bullet and a 120 grain charge of
Triple Seven FFG powder. I felt this was the best combination for Manitoba deer
hunt where I might have a close shot or one out to 200 yards. Luckily it was
close, 32 yards, but a straight on shot into his chest. The QT did the job and
the buck went right down. The bullet was found under his skin along his side and
had expanded well as the photos show. Thanks for helping me make this a
successful hunt! I was hunting with Sugarloaf Outfitting in Grandview, Manitoba.
My buck did go right down,
he did some kicking but never got up. I was a little surprised because the
bullet never hit any parts of the shoulders or legs. I think it was the shock of
the bullet that kept him down until he died from the loss of blood - certainly
less than a minute, maybe 30 seconds. I was reloading and watching him; just in
case another shot was needed.
I was using a Winchester X-150 with which I'm very satisfied. My son was
along and was hunting with an that we converted to the 25 ACP brass/primer. He
saw a monster but couldn't get a shot. I'll start hunting with that rifle here
in CT next week; there's a big one here I'd like to get with it (see my game
camera photo attached).
The weight of the deer by
the outfitters scale was 200 lbs live weight but I have to believe it was more
than that based on other deer I've gotten. He certainly isn't the "monster"
Canadian whitetail that some hunters get but the hunting was tough and I'm very
satisfied with the buck. I actually tracked him in the soft snow and called him
back to me with rattling/grunting.
Best regards, Don Greene
Ray, I just wanted to
thank you for all the helpful advice and excellent products which lead to a
successful November bull elk hunt in Arizona. The .25 ACP breech-plug conversion
for my TC Encore resulted in flawless performance. The 340 grain Dead Center
sabots shot amazingly accurate at the range and did a real number on the 5x5
bull elk I shot outside of Flagstaff. This set-up makes an outstanding elk gun and I'd be
comfortable shooting any animal in North America with it. Your thoughtful advice
in getting everything assembled is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to use
my testimonial on your website. And call me up if you ever make it to
Scottsdale. I owe you an elk steak dinner!
Regards,
Eric
Ray, a couple of weeks ago I got some of the 175g Dead Center duplex bullets
to use in my muzzleloader. I got the chance to try them out last Friday. I took
a nice doe at a range of 50 yards. I had a straight on shot at her looking
directly at me. I shot her in the
neck and she dropped instantly. The bullet hit the spine and never exited the
body (pic 2 right bullet). Tonight I shot my first buck with a muzzleloader. A nice 8 pointer
with a pretty heavy rack. I shot him broadside at 70 yards. The bullet entered
the shoulder, angled down toward the bottom of the ribs on the far side and
stayed inside the hide. The deer went 30 yards(left bullet pic 2). These bullets
are excellent. I look forward to seeing what they can do at farther distances.
We still have a month of deer season left here in NJ.
Thanks, Erik Smestad
I included a couple of
pictures of my deer from '04, in case you needed a picture for your site. I was
shooting a .45 Encore with the .25 ACP Breechplug, 105 grains 777 FFFg and a 200
grain D.C. The deer grossed 162 3/8.
Thanks again, and take care, Matt Epp
Hi Ray- just a quick note to once again endorse the QT .40. I killed two more
deer with them in Dec. in New York. I was once again impressed with the accuracy
and knock down. More importantly your tips (swabbing, shooting loose instead of
pellets, fouling first... etc... ) have really made muzzleloading the most fun I
have had hunting, ever! The trusty shotgun will get lots of rest in the future.
I plan on shooting all winter, I will place an order soon. Happy New Year-
Pete Johnson- Buffalo New York.
Ray. I have spoken to you on a couple of occasions about your bullets and the
magnum bases. Tuesday 11-02-04, I had the privilege to use them on a nice 8
pointer. He fell to the 200gr dead center from 50 yards. Man....what an exit
hole. He didn't fall in his tracks but was real easy to trail due to the massive
hole. I have found these bullets to be exceptionally accurate and look forward
to using them more in the very near future. Thanks for turning me on to such a
great bullet!

Hello from Ft sill, Oklahoma. This
is the 6th buck in the past years I have gotten here on this army post. Last
year I used your bullets and they performed awesome. Dropped the deer in there
tracks. I didn't take any photos. But here are some pics of a buck I got on a
mountain top last SAT. during muzzle loader season. It was walking over the
crest and weaving through big boulders all I had was a neck shot. I shot it at
50 yards and hit exactly where I was aiming. I am so confident using your
bullets. I get awesome groups at 100 and 150 yards. 1IN with the 100 gr 777, 195
gr 357 Duplex's; there so accurate. The buck will score in the 150's and field
dressed at 168lbs. Its age 8yrs. So far it is the 2nd biggest buck killed on Ft
Sill. All my friends use your bullets and some have gone to other units and
posts state side and buy the bullets there too using your web sight. They will
have had great success. The shear knock down of these bullets is one of a kind.
I have shot everything, all kinds of bullets too. Thanks for a great product.
Enjoy the pictures.

Thought I would send
feedback to this Incredible product. This is truly the tightest group I have
ever seen from a muzzleloader. Shot 1,2 practically same hole (these 2 shots
were from mounting the scope, gun right out of the box which is a .489 group (no
bore sighting). The next three shots are truly impressive as well. .713 WOW!! My
father was a firearms instructor for our local police dept. and is one of the
best shooters I know of, and he as well was very impressed with the accuracy. I
am still amazed at the accuracy of the Savage, coupled with the Precision
Products. Conditions: Cloudy, 11 mph crosswind, 71 deg. 40/50 260 Gr. Dead

Ray, I shot up the bullets today and all I can say is WOW! For the first try,
I took my old T/C Renegade, primarily because it is by far the most familiar of
my muzzleloaders... Over the years, I tried just about everything imaginable in
it... Minnie's, Maxies, sabot this, sabot that, and the ONLY thing it has ever
shot well is patched round balls... You could drive nails with them, but any of
the sabot or cast bullets open up to around three inches with the occasional
flyer.. So, using 80, 90, and 100 grains by volume of 777 FFg I started in my
sighting in the scope which turned out to not need any adjustments... After
that, and after I had my flinches and jerks out of the way, I got down to
business. On the first target, which I actually intended to be a practice
target, I fired two rounds each of 80, 90, and 100 grains... It was a one hole
group! Backing off to 100 yards, I turned in another three rounds again all
holes touching the other... I'll have to scan the targets, but basically, I
found no point of impact difference between 80 and 100 grains 777 FFg at 50
yards, and no change in accuracy at 100 yards using 100 grains... This is the
very first "bullet" of any kind other than the patched round ball that I have
found to shoot in this rifle... If this is any indication at all, the QT is one
heck of a great bullet.... I'm totally impressed... I'm going to post this on
the forums, and then get the article together for the magazine page...
Dave QUOTE: "Lord, please help me to be just half the man my dog thinks
I am"...
05/07/04 - 50 cal Omega group at 100 yds is now 1.5" with the dead
center-Down from 3+" with Powerbelts 05/08/04 - Clean the barrel after
3 shots-100 grains 777 and a good Nikon scope. I was very disappointed with the
performance of the Powerbelts. They were scattered all over the target. The Dead
Centers with the double sabot was a welcome relief. 10/23/04 -
Finally, something to report about the 195 grain duplex sabot. It was in the
mid-80's the 1st few days of the season with no movement at all. Then, the rains
came with cooler weather. The duplex performed great. A 156 lb white-tail
(remember I am in extreme South Ga.) at 62 yards, it entered the left shoulder,
destroying both lungs, then passed completely through the right shoulder and was
found under the skin while dressing. The bullet appears to be completely intact.
The 195 grain bullet mushroomed very well, measuring 3/4" and appears to have
rolled back even with the base. I will see if I can scare up a scale and
calipers and give you a little more info. Recover was less than 35 yards, with a
good blood trail especially with only an entry wound. A T/C Omega, 100 grains of
777 and especially the DEAD CENTER duplex are an extremely good combination.
Arthur Ambrose
Hi Ray- I finally got a chance to shoot more than paper this past weekend on
the Pennsylvania early muzzleloading opener- does only season. I was very
impressed with the QT and the job it did on an animal. Truly devastating at 100
yards. The penetration and the way the bullet exited the deer made tracking in
yellow and bright red maple leaves (although pretty in the sun) easy because of
the amount of blood. Pete
Ray, I thought I would drop you an email to let you know how happy I am with
your sabots! I was shooting Powerbelt 275 grain bullets and wasn't happy at all!
They dropped like a rock after 150 yards. I have a TC Encore 45 and the
Powerbelts were dropping 9 inches from 150 to 200 yards! I shots your sabots
(.40 Caliber QT 250 grain) and could not believe it....At 100 yards I was 4
inches high and at 200 it was still 3 inches high. I moved the target out to 250
yards and I was only 4 inches low! I could not believe it! NO "flyers" either! I
am going on an Elk hunt in New Mexico in 2 weeks and an extra 100 yards or more
range sure will help!
Thanks!

I received this email on 15 Aug
04 from Frank Langston of Allen TX: The group on the lower left is the Dead
Center 240 gr .40/ 50 Cal. behind 37.2 gr of N110.@ 100yds .667 inches. 89
Degrees Sunny 5 mph head wind. 1st shot 2147 fps; 2nd shot 2107 fps; 3rd shot

fps; 4th shot 2202 fps; 5th shot 2211 fps. The flyer caused this group to be 1
inch. It came on the first shot out of a clean barrel. Shot 2-5 measure .5 inch!
This was almost 4 one hole hits. Only 50 shots have been fired through this new
Savage. Imagine what it will do when the barrel is broken in!!!!!

I received this email on 14 Aug
04 from Frank Langston of Allen TX: So far my best 3 shot group came with the
Dead Center .40 240 gr. 50 cal using 44 gr of AA 5744. 1st shot 1905 fps; 2nd
shot 1848 fps; 3rd shot 1840 fps for a 1.58 inch group @ 100yds. I am using a
stock Simmons 3x9x40 scope. When the barrel gets broke in the groups will
shrink. Cleaning with a saliva patch after 5 rounds will get velocity and
grouping more consistent. Click graphic to enlarge.

Hey Ray,
I shot 2 does and a nine point (he shrunk some when he hit
the ground) during Iowa's late deer season with Precision bullets. None of them
went more than twenty yards, unlike the previous two deer I shot with another
brand of bullet. The deer that I double lunged traveled 75 and the one I single
lunged/livered went 200+ yards. I like not tracking. I just upgraded to an
Austin Halleck 420 from my old Timber Ridge. Do you have any experience with the
Austin Hallecks?? What bullet weight/load recommendations can you make to
shorten the learning curve??
Thanks, Chris
Hello Ray;
I finally got to shoot the BpBullets, 220 grain only Dead
Centers. I loaded 100 grains of Pyrodex (2 pellets) and shot through my Chrony.
Muzzle velocity varied 1850 to 1900 fps. I got 2" three shot groups at 100
yards, (actually 110 yards). I don't know why the clubs range was set up like
that. I cleaned the bore between each shot. I shot one 3 shot group at 200 yrds,
got a 4" spread. Can't do a lot of testing with just 10 bullets. At 200 yds, a
4" group is far and away the best I have ever done with a smoke pole. There was
another shooter testing with a Knight Rifle. I don't know the bullet type or
powder charge he was loading, but he was shooting 5" groups at 110yds. My Omega
seems to perform best with 80 to 85 grains powder charge. I used the two Pyrodex
pellets to eliminate errors on my part. I sure wish I could afford your 22
Hornet breech plug. This was not an all out test for accuracy, It was to
determine bullet quality, and it is superb.
Bob Spann
Ray
The quality of the construction of the product was visually
superb, but several things (opening a new business, ect.) has not let me
actually test these bullets in my rifle (a Thompson Center Encore).
What really impresses me is the personal interest you took in advising me on
how best to work on my accuracy potential.
Thanks, Joe
Hi! Your 220 grain .50
Dead Centers and my Knight Disc Elite performed flawlessly on 2 nice caibou on
my Quebec trip to Tuttlik Outfitters off the east coast of Huson's Bay. The
weather was windy and rainy and I had no problems at all. I took your bullets
since I have found them to shoot the most accurately in my rifle and have a
great trajectory up to 200 yards. And believe me, I tried every bullet made! It
wasn't necessary to shoot that far, but I was prepared!
Thanks again!
Ken Moist
Hey ray here is a pic of two Delaware bucks that we shot with 200 grain dead
centers in a 50 cal. with 110gr of pyrodex. We love these bullets and won't
shoot anythng else..
john&andrew
Ray,
Let me put it this way to portray my satisfaction with my order.
I can't load, shoot and clean my rifle for next round as fast as I received the
shipment from you. The bullets are very well built and the sabots fit according
to caliber of bullet also. The dead center bullets I order needed to be bumped
up in weight along with the QT bullets. Now on the other hand the extreme 330
gr. shoot like one inch groups with 150 gr. of 777 ffg powder. I've shot those
up, already, in one setting to see what powder weight shoots best. I think
something like a seventy five or one hundred pack would be nice, but pricey I
bet. Thank you for your service and your follow up on the order.

Dear Cecil, a product testimony:
I discovered the precision rifle bullet in 2002 after trying at
least five other top manufactures of muzzleloader bullets (Remington, Hornady,
T/C, etc.). I had come to accept the typical 4" (3) shot group @ 100yds with
peep sights (scopes not legal in my state of Idaho) as normal for modern
muzzleloaders. When I began reading about subminute of angle groups with
prbullets, I was skeptical but curious enough to place an order of Dead Center
50/45 bullets. Immediately my accuracy improved but I was closer to 2.5" than an
1". Rather than stop there, I gave prbullet a call. Working with Cecil, I was
soon shooting groups that averaged 1.5" with the best being .75" (with the rare
3" because of a flyer). I had improved my accuracy 250%! The next test came a
month later during hunting season. I took a 160 pound mule deer doe at 80 yards.
The shot was head on and when the smoke cleared, I saw the deer racing downhill
kicking her back legs wildly. She piled up 25 yards later. Upon cleaning the
deer, I found the entrance wound at the base of her neck between her front
shoulders. The bullet took the heart and then broke every rib from that point
back. I found the bullet lodged against the pelvis (over 3 feet of penetration!)
Upon weighing the bullet, it still weighed 264 grains- it had retained 88% of
its original weight after hitting all that bone. To say the least, I am very
happy that I found the Precision Rifle bullet and was thankful for all the
technical help that the company gave. Their products are what they say they are.
Sincerely, a customer for life, Robby Denning, hunter and outdoor
writer. * Rifle was a 50 cal Kahnke in 24" moly barrel
Love your product. Both of these deer were shot with QT Polymer
Tip 275 gr. Both deer went straight down with zero yards to recovery. Last years
deer (2001) was my son's first hunt. Keep up the good work!!!

Just wanted ya'll to know that your bullets work great this is my
business and hunting partner with a 155" buck taken with a 45 caliber Encore and
I sending another picture with me and a 145" 9 point(my first muzzleloader kill)
taken with a 200 grain dead center. Thanks for all ya'll help with the loads and
all the other information we got. I can truly tell my customers to use your
bullets. Ronnie Cannon - Oxford, Ms. HOLE-IN-THE-HIDE OUTFITTERS
Dear Sirs,
I would like to take this time to thank you for
a fantastic product. On November 12, 2002 I made the most efficient humane kill
ever with a muzzleloader. The result was a nine point buck with a 20 inch inside
spread. The buck weighed 163 lbs. I dropped him with your dead center 45 caliber
240 gr. right in his tracks. I am shooting a nickel size group at 100 yards with
a Thompson Center Encore and a 100 gr. of triple seven and your dead center
sabots. This is a great combination that I plan to use over and over again.
Again Thank you for our product and I look forward to seeing what you have to
offer in the future.
Sincerely, Michael K. Williams
Hi.
I am very impressed with your QT bullets. My wife had
a great deer hunting season this year, and your QT 240 gr. bullet had a lot to
do with it. The down range accuracy even with a old TC Hawkins 1 in 48 twist
rifle, is the best we have ever used. Attached are some pictures
Roger
& Sharon Conrath
Our deer season is over in Indiana. I, along with three
other hunters shot bullets made by Precision Rifle. Two of the hunters are
members of this board. We killed a total of 12 deer among the four us, including
two mature bucks. Two of us shot 450 grain, .50/.54 sabots. We killed 9 deer. 6
of them had 0 yards to recovery. 2 went 15 yards and the mature 8 point went
about 35 yards. I hit the 8 at 60 yards with a perfect double lung shot. He was
the one to go 35 yards. Two guys killed the other three with 360 grain, .45/50
sabots. All three of them were 0 yards to recovery and one was a mature 5
pointer. ALL had exit wounds. All had HUGE blood. Two of the three that ran died
within sight of the shooter and the one that did not just made it into the brush
and I heard him thrashing for just a second or two. Overall, I have to give the
bullets a huge, major, glowing endorsement. They do what I want them to do. I
was never a fan of delivering a lot of energy into the deer. A hole straight
through was sufficient for me, but... as long as I get an exit wound I am happy,
and there is something to be said for getting the best of both worlds. I like
seeing the deer drop. And I think that it is very humane as well. None of the 12
deer lasted more than about 5 seconds. PR bullet has a web site. If you call to
order bullets, tell Cecil that you heard about them from me. He might send me
another hat!
John T. Lowe Gentleman
I would like to congratulate you on making
/designing/marketing an amazing product. I would never have believed that a
muzzle loader could be so accurate and so powerful at long range. On Thursday
this week my best friend Frank of Springville Springers shot a ten point white
tail buck at two hundred and forty one yards!!!! The three hundred grain dead
center smashed and disabled one shoulder and punched through an off side rib.
Your Dead Center bullets even get rid of the dreaded loading wrestling match of
shoving the bullet down the bore. The Savage smokeless powder rifles and your
Dead Center bullets are a match made in heaven. To my knowledge there is no
better combination for muzzle loaders. After shooting paper and game I am
wondering what the limits are of this super accurate and powerful combination. I
keep checking your web site for updates on your exterior ballistics of your
three hundred grain 45 caliber Dead Center bullets for 50 caliber rifles. Please
publish them. I am starting to day dream about next years muzzle loading season
here in Ontario and maybe a muzzle loading elk hunt in New Mexico next year. I
am still shaking my head at the ability of these smokeless powder rifles using
your bullets. And NO I do not work for Savage or the hunting or firearm industry
( I wish I did!)
Regards Don Katsumi ps: TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE
YARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To whom it may concern,
I realize a great deal of time and
effort went into making the Dead Center .45 "round". I am here to say that it
performs flawlessly on whitetail deer. On opening morning, Monday Dec. 02, 2002,
(Ohio) I shot a nice eight point and was astonished at the way the bullet
performed. I was using a CVA Eclipse .45, Triple 7 powder, Winchester primer,
and your Dead Center. I shot the Buck at about 50 yards from an elevated stand
and the Buck performed a 15 yard 'death dance' before he made two complete
circles and fell stiff. I was amazed at the impact and the reaction of the deer
since he damn there made a back flip when shot. Even though on this occasion the
bullet did not make a complete pass through the animal, the hole inside the deer
cavity behind the left front shoulder was about as big as a softball. I have yet
to skin the deer out, and I believe the bullet is either wedged in between the
muscle and the hide or in the right shoulder blade. Thank you again for your
hard work and dedication in making such a wonderful muzzleloading projectile. It
makes the hunt all that much better when a person can make a fast and humane
kill. Good luck in future endeavors and I know you have a customer for life.
Your hunting buddy, Tom Moses
To Everyone,
I bought my first bullets from you many years
ago at a trade show, I've shot nothing else since. The accuracy and performance
is unparalleled by any of your competition. As a professional big game hunter
your bullets have proved themselves many times over ( To the delight of my
taxidermist.) This year proved to be another success. I harvested this beautiful
eight pointer at 108 yds. with a 300 grain silver lightning on the last day of
Minnesota deer season. (See attached file: 2002 Whitetail Buck.bmp)
Thanks, And good hunting. Gregory S. Maros
Cecil,
AM I IMPRESSED!!! I received the new
barrel(1:30) for my .45 Knight and went to the range yesterday. I was using the
.357 Dead Center sabot with 3 50 gr. pellets. After about 6 shots I had it on
target. I then preceded to shoot a 2" group @ 100 yard dead center. Two shots
were touching and the third was off (I may have pulled). I then moved the target
to 200 yards and shot a 1 1/2" 3 shot group that only had a 3" drop! I can't
wait for dear season! If you want I can send you a copy of the target.
Thanks for all of your help and for making such a great bullet. Jim
Poock
Hi, I just want to say thanks for making the best bullets
around. Attached is a picture of a deer I harvested on my Great Uncles farm in
Minnesota November 16, 2002 using a Dead Center 175g in My Knight 45 Disc
Extreme pushed with 110g of 777 fff. The deer was at 160 yards walking. The shot
was a pass through which hit both lungs, he traveled about 50 yards and tipped
over dead. This is the third deer I've shot with these bullets and all three
went less than 50 yards with great blood trails.
Thanks again, Brett

PRbullet!
I have enjoyed shooting your bullets, I have
purchased 300 of your Dead Center .40 cal 200 grain for my T/C Encore, very
nice. I have also shot approx 200 of your QT .40 cal 250 .44 cal. Wonderful
expansion on recovered bullets. I am currently working with your .40 250 grain
QT, but due to Indiana law I must use a .44 cal bullet. I have now shot 150
rounds through my T/C Encore and 100 rounds with my new Omega. Enclosed is the
group I attained from my Encore after using your loading and "spit patching"
procedure. To say the least I am pleased. Currently the Omega is being zeroed in
at 200 yards. Using 130 grains of Triple 7 and attaining 2.0 to 2.5 inch groups.
I tell everyone about your product! Thanks for all the good work. Looking
forward to your ballistics on the Dead Center 260 grain.
Thanks again!
Todd Wiedell Just wanted to let you know, this last weekend I shot your Precision
Dead Center 240 grain bullet and sabot in my T/C Encore 209x50 Muzzleloader. I
started with 100 grains and ended with 120 grains of Hodgden 777 powder. At 75
yards and up to 100 yards I was shooting 0.75 inch groups with this combination.
I also had installed a spring kit from BellM to lighten the pull to approx. 2
lbs. Other than this the Encore is stock. Last season when I bought the gun I
was shooting approx. 4-5 inch groups with the stock trigger pull and both
weights of CVA Powerbelts. Since these groups were not really what I expected
from this gun, I decided to change things for more accuracy. After reading your
article on changes you made to a test 209X50 Encore, I became motivated to do
the same thing. Hence the results I got! I am highly impressed with the quality
and accuracy of your Dead Center bullets!!! What a great product you make. I
only hope other hunters see the light and use your bullets for all their hunting
needs!
Again, Thanks Jack G. Ingle
Just a note - I shot a small buck (120 lbs dressed) two years ago that was
just a little over 200 yds. The QT40 235 hit him directly in the heart. My
buddy, who was looking through the binocs when I shot him, said it looked like a
blood-filled water baloon broke out of the opposite side. He ran about 40 yds.
When I opened him up his heart and the lower part of his lungs were gone. Sucked
out of a hole about the size of a nickle. Awesome!
Thanks for making these bullets,
Rick
Cecil, I waited 5 months for a TC Omega and when I got it last week I
tried your Dead Center bullets in 200, 220 and 240 grains. At 100 yards I had a
3-shot group of 0.6" with the 240's using 100 grains Triple Seven FFFg (photo
attached). I'd never seen a muzzleloader outshoot my centerfire rifle, so the
next day I tried the same load at 50 yards and got a 0.4" group! I'll be
ordering more.
