I first tried the 460 grain BullShop conicals with no wad, or filler. I was shooting 70 grains of Triple Se7en 3f powder. I also swabbed between the first three shots, then I did not swab and shot #4. Whether the swabbing caused the hit to do what it did, I could not say.

On the second part, I loaded 70 grains of powder and leveled the load. I then added 20 grains of Corn meal and seated the Bull Shop conical on all of that. It shot a good tight group actually with the cornmeal.

I also shot some of the conicals with a fiber wad between the powder and the bullet. (Camera batteries went dead out in the cold) and they hit about where the ones with the cornmeal hit. Although the group was a lot bigger because of a flier in the group.

Overall for the simplicity of it all and the accuracy, I would just shoot the 460 bullshop conicals on top of the powder charge. I think this would work just fine. I was going to test some other bullets but company stopped over...
