Maybe these new Bore Drivers with a plastic skirt are replacing the FPB's that were similar except had a hollow metal base.
I read a post that the FPB's were discontinued but IDK if that's true or not.
Some said that the FPB's were hard to load, but the plastic skirt should make it easier.

Any chance they can be had for less than $1.00 per projectile?
Remember every shot is plus powder and primer too.
Some of these options get pretty pricey.

for hunting its cheap. Not so much for target shooting.

Which is why I am shooting mostly bore riding lead bullets or patched round ball. The all lead bullet is capable of exactly the same performance as the $1.00 per shot manufactured bullets from exactly the same rifles.

How much? I'm still having trouble giving up my lead bullets like my maxis and REALs. I'm working on adapting them to my inline. My dad is rolling over at that.

Their FTX design appears to be their new flagship round. I wonder if these work the threw the same variety of velocities. When I bought my Encore 50x209 magnum this year I got about 50 250grn Power Belts with it. I like the base design of these Hornady ones better then the PowerBelts.

You’re going to be pleased with the results... (you can take it up with the old man later. Hopefully much later...)

I think around $24 for 20 bullets.

Does anybody know of all non lead (copper ?) bullets for .50 ML so I can again hunt if in Calif, or even shoot As non lead is required) on Federal land there ?

Edited : I found the Barnes TEZ .50 is all copper and certified for Ca. on the box. Now to order a box

I think your best bet is to find a 45 caliber all copper round and some Sabots. I have some older Hornady sabots with 45caliber hollow points rounds. I figured I'd use the sabots with some of my medium hardness hand casted 240grn 45 Acp bullets and save the better ones for my Ruger.
