any recommendation for a TC 50 cal looking for a good hunting bullet and sabot ?
That decision will be based on your hunting style.
My ML hunt is in the deep bush from a tree stand, so I rarely have to shot more than 50 yds. So I use their 330gr .45 cal 'Keith Nose'. It's designed to flatten out like a $0.50 piece and dissipate all it's kinetic energy inside the wound channel. Devastating bullet. The down side, you rarely get an exit wound, the bullet is usually recovered in the hide on the far side, however, with a well placed shot, the deer usually drop in the tracks and you don't need a blood trail.
If your shooting out into a field, 100+ yds, you will probably want their 'Dead Center' bullet. It's designed for those 200 yds shots.
At the prices being offered, what I have done in the past is buy a sampling of what they have and try different bullets with your ML...
Quote:
We recognize that many hunters hunt in times and areas where there is no snow to assist in trailing. To that end, we have designed the Dead Center™ for shoot-thru performance. We have changed the polymer tip and the cavity behind the polymer tip so the bullet dissipates most of it's energy while still gaining complete penetration. One entire year of testing, re-testing and development have resulted in a bullet that performs inside the cavity as well as penetration through the animal. The result; greater blood trails for easier game recovery.
Thank you
yes i hunt in a wooded area and the max would be 50 yards. quick question do the bullets come with the sabots or is that sold separately.
cheers
Your best bet would be to call and talk with Cecil. Tell him what gun you are shooting, the normal ranges you expect to be shooting, and the type of environment you hunt - ie woods, fields, combination of both. He will advise you as to what will work best given your circumstances.Quote:

Been using it successfully ever since.

They could not give me a total price because they didn't know off hand what the discounted shipping would be. Bottom line - they are now Canadian based company doing business in American currency.
I really want to try these bullets but I detest paying in USD for a CANADIAN product.
I'm the opposite, I hate to buy in the US and have to pay CND on my credit card ..LOL...Quote:

Well, I just confirmed that my phone in order was billed in $USD (no surprise, as PR said it would be). Still cheaper than most other bullets, but disheartening to be paying more than an American does, considering both the seller and buyer are in Canada.
