I'm expecting to take the muzzleloader to Colorado this September, and I found that the Hornady FPB's that were so good from my Ruger, are only so-so from my CVA Optima and they were a bugger to load. I bought the sizing pack from Thor and had the same experience - none of them would load any easier than the FPB's. So I came across these Harvester bullets and thought I'd ask here if anyone was using them for CO? I'm looking to hunt muleys and not elk, so I thought I'd try these and maybe the dreaded powerbelts and Federal Bor-lok's to see which ones my rifle likes best.

Nobody try these? Maybe I'll go first and report back then.

@Newtosavage did you use these this year?

@Newtosavage did you use these this year?

Nope, not yet. Just got home from my 3rd season rifle hunt and won't be ML hunting until January.

I watched my buddy whack an east coast whitetail with the 300 grain version of the Sabertooth. He was using a reduced powder charge due to shoulder injury and we recovered the expanded slug under the off side of the deer. The expansion was pretty impressive. I will reply again if I find the picture. I have had good accuracy with these in my TC as well.
