Thor Bullets shameless plug - 06/11/15
Oregon now allows non lead muzzleloader bullets, but no sabots.
Thor bullets, I am told are made by Barnes and solid copper with a deep concave base with thin base walls so they will expand and seal. Thor sent me 4 bullets to see what size fit my rifle,500,501,502 and 503. The bullets were free and I can't remember if I had to pay shipping or not, I think not.
Anyway, I finally got around to ordering some and the Thor website had no order procedure so I emailed Terry Oertwig and told him I wanted some bullets. He said to tell him what I wanted and he would include the invoice with the order. I got the bullets today and the hand written invoice that included $3.80 for shipping 15 247 grain bullets. He included a addressed return envelope. Muzzle loader folks must have a reputation for honesty.
Even though I haven't shot them yet, I wanted to say thanks to Terry. It would have been easier to buy with a CC, but dealing with a man that trusts a stranger for payment is uncommon these days. I hope the bullets work.
