BigBlock could I ask what powder you hunt with? Do you use the pellets just for the ease during practice. I use BH 209 for everything. Hadn't thought about using the pellets for practice......Thanks

Blackhorn209 as of last year. 43 cans of it actually LOL. I pre measure my loads and put them into lanes powder tubes.
Pellets suck! I seriously hate the having to swab between shots.

No, it needs a sealed breech plug and 209 primers.
Thor II's are not available yet, i will have to check and see when they will be.

.501" is the way to go! Light grooves in the bullet and not having to pull your nuts out of your boot after its seated = perfect!
Emailing Terry right now about the Thor II

I run the 250gr for elk. I feel it will do everything that the 300gr will do, only with less recoil. Both shoot excellent so i shoot to use the lighter weigh thor as im skinny lol.

90-110 grains for starters.
Yes they are legal in colorado. We finally got rid of that bullet length restriction!
TC bore sizes are all over the place so make sure you get that sizing sample, extremely important!
