Missouri Bullets makes some great 255 grain roundnosed flatpoints, with selectable hardness. Their Hi-Tek powder coating works super at preventing leading. Great bullets and service. Just thought I would pass that along. 255grs OR 250grs? OVER THE YEARS I HAVE BOUGHT AND SHOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT MISSOURI BULLET COMPANY BULLETS, JUST SHOT AND LOADED SOME PC'ed .358 BULLETS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. |

I have used that bullet on farm pests for years and I am impressed with it's versatility but it's ability to put down small animals is less than stellar. No doubt about it's penetration but it's ability to transfer shock is lacking. I once had to shoot a raccoon 6 times before it even fell out of the tree much less died. Opossums would be slowed with a body shot but would required a follow up head shot. Even hogs shot on the run made it quite a way before slowing down. Mine was the Lee 250RF. I loaded them over 5 grains of Bullseye which is a Colt SAA safe load and hence could be why it didn't impress me. I saw a few of the Lee version. It's meplat is a bit smaller than my RCBS and Lyman molds. Bet it works well in an auto |
