Looks like Federal has a new 50 Cal muzzy bullet on the way. BOR Lock bullet Looks interesting, we'll see how they perform... I might give them a try.

Betting most here can't define "obturating."
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Betting most here can't define "obturating." It's just like obturating a four lane road in your truck only it's a lot smaller and there's no divide or lines to follow and it's all straightaways. The obturating ramps are what the bullets drives onto before being driven down the superhighway barrel. I get it.

Betting most here can't define "obturating." Ah, you underestimate the denizens of the 'Fire! I can even use it in a sentence. Ingwe ate 4 pounds of dry beef jerky, then drank half a dozen beers. The jerky completely obturated in his bore, taking more than a week to pass. John

Betting most here can't define "obturating." Another guess ... Obturating is when a bullet is crooked and/or is oblong. It's the "ob" in obturate and oblong. If it was oturate (no "b") the bullet would be round.

Betting most here can't define "obturating." This is a family forum, but I did know a guy from West Virginia who went blind from too much obturating.

After taking a peek at that bullet it looks like it will waaaaay over obturate.
I'll pass.

Seriously though, I'd wager they'll be hideously expensive but it won't matter to me since they'll also be illegal here.

Not illegal, its a conical bullet. If it were the shed the case around it like a sabot, then it would not be legal.
Price is $24.99 per 15. Cheap than a powerbelt aerolite.

I didn't say it was illegal, I said it will be. Got to give it at least a few weeks.
If you doubt that CP&W will make it illegal I have $100 that says they will.

Looks kinda similar. What the heck's muzzleloading coming to?

Those are definitely illegal in CO. During the special muzzleloader season that is.

uh comparing an explosive bullet ( if thats what it is?) to a copper bullet encased in plastic, a case that does not separate from the bullet, is way the hell off base IMO.

If I was a beginner, that bullet is what I'd be slingin'. The BC alone has knockdown power. When you add in the obturation ramps, it's a win-win.

I dunno, I think it's missin' the CE pellet in the "Deep Cavity" to be a real winner! I really don't blame Federal for wanting to get in on the bazillion dollars the muzzleloading crowd is willing to spend on "The Next Greatest Thing" to try to make their front stuffers more like cartridge guns.
