I'll be shooting them this season so we will find out how much damage they cause!! That's what I'm talikng about. I'll be shooting FPBs that are Colorado-legal with the hollow point filled with lead, we'll do a side-by-side comparison.

John John, i know they make the Thor in .503" but im not sure if that would be enough for the white. I never called them before, i only emailed so far. They answer my email within 1 day. I'd send them an email and request the free sample pack so you can figure out if the .503" thor will work.

BB, I got my sample pack today...not sure when I will be able to go out and try it but hopefully soon.....thanks for posting about these. Finally got to try these out for size. My muzzleloader is a T/C Greyhawk and it wanted the .502's I only used 90 Grains of Pyrodex and at 75 yds was a hair left to where my other bullets would hit....not bad. (course thats only 1 bullet) Velocity wise I got 1394 fps. I think while shooting these I need to bump up the velo. Now I need to order a bunch of .502's Thanks for the lead on these Bigblock.

Tom, great looking rifle!! Im surprised it used the .502!! i wish my sidelocks would have a bore in that range so i could shoot the thors.
If thats a 1:48 twist, look for a charge in the 100-110gr area to get them to fly tight.

bigblock,
Those really are impressive looking bullets. Thanks for sharing that info and now to get my sample pack.!!!
Also, what is that gadget on the end of your ram rod? I like that idea. Homemade? or did you buy it.

Thats actually a Powerbelt Aerotip bullet loader attachment. It helps hold the bullet and doesnt mess up the tip of the Aerotip. Thor has their own, i have 2 of them but they are a little to big for my bore size. I plan on using some sand paper and turning them down a couple thousandths. Cabelas sells something that looks like it, its called the Spinjag.

I shoot a bullet similar to the Thor, its Hornady�s 350gr FPB. But I like how Thor offers the size increments, I�ll have to try them. I found this tool that helps me load the FPB. Maybe it will work with the Thor bullets, I'll get back to ya when I get the Thor bullets. I haven�t found any spinjag products at cabelas or walmart. Try here

Wait till the Thor II comes out. Its a one size fits most kind of deal.
A graphite coating on a .500" bullet and the lower section of the bullet has a final coating thickness of .5045"
All you need it just a light wrap on a bullet starter and shes down and ready.
