Well.........except "Bramblefind's" is 45 caliber and "not" a hollow point......
But yes.....its of a similar style and a close comparision. Thompson Center's three ring 50cal weighs 350 grains....their two ringer weighs in at about 275 grains.......

Here's another website that shows Lee Molds for a very similar conical bullet in 45cal in a closer weight and toward the bottom it list a T/C Maxi-Hunter in 45 cal. that would again.....be closer in your weight.

Ok, I was looking at the wrong picture. The one in question is a swagged bullet with a "dry" lubricant. I have some loose ones somewhere and I think they came from Hornady? Don't have the box anymore. They come in .45, 50 , and 54 caliber. Probably dating to the mid 1980s. I have muzzle loaders in all those calibers and bought several different commercial bullets just to select the most accurate one. The ones I didn't like I just tossed in a box to be remelted. I have a friend who casts bullets and I save all my scrap lead for him. I can't remember for sure but I think I took a doe in a doe only hunt with that bullet in .54 cal. over in Arkansas. It is not an old CW bullet. Monty

I dated a lady from Willow Arkansas for a while and she brought me home to do some Deer and Turkey hunting down there. Being from Colorado I'm used to 200-300 yards shots and overall visability being 100 miles plus. When she told me she was from the "Back Woods" of Arkansas....I didn't really have a grasp of exactly what "Back Woods" meant. When you step off the road and 50ft in to the woods down there.....its gets dark....quiet...and you lose all sense of direction. Its so dense you can't even see the sun for time and direction reference. Visibility might be 30-40-50ft. She says sitting by yourself on a trail all night hunting "Wild Hogs"....is an experience.
Colorado has its hunting attributes....but I am envious of you people that have the dense, lush, wet woods of Okla,Ark,louisiana. I think its Black Powder Hunting at its best.

I my part of Northeast Washington, we have a rainforest type of density to our woods in the Selkirk mountain range. Our problem here is rugged terrain. Up and down, up and down. When you hunt here, you take a frying pan with you. Mule deer hunting is great with black powder arms.
