That was in a different century, and has no relevance in this day and age
I have nothing against the 150’s but the 160-180gr Bullets from this era are awesome!!


The Remington Core Locks have not changed that much although they have been modified about three or four times since JOC wrote that. I think it still has some relevance based on my own experience.


With that logic there are still some that use a round ball in muzzleloader's and that is fine if it is what you want.
I just prefer a more modern bullet and would never use a round ball or Remington Core-Lokt bullets ever.
The OP was asking about 150 BT's and AB's, they are far superior to a round ball or Core-Lokt's
My point was that JOC's statement might have been true in his era but not anymore, the heavies work just as good or better.
