Yeah, there was a new member who reported getting a hog kill recently with that bullet, I think his post was in the hunting gate.
It’s going to be going really slow without a power tune on that gun though. It will be slow even with a power tune, but a lot better speed with one than without.

Looks like Accurate Molds is about it right now for light weight 50 cal molds.
They have a 180 gr airgun mold that looks real interesting for as you say the lower velocity shooting Dragon Claw
Thoughts on it for the Claw
Of course change dia to 457. I can pc to 458_459 then size down if needed
MP does not list anything LT WT and NOE is mostly sold out and thin picking anyway.
Sad I truly love shooting HP's

What do you mean, size down to .457? The dragon claw is .50 and most slug out to .498 or .499
I have no idea how that slug would shoot, but I would like to know. I have some 230 grain nsa that shoot well, but they haven’t made any of those for a bit.
I also shoot 325 grain cowboy bullets, but even power tuned, I only get low 700’s with those. They do hit pretty hard though.
A flat shooting slug I could cast would be nice to have.

Mostly likely not needed... just never know till you shoot a few and see what the gun likes

I guarantee the claw won’t like a .457, it’s a .50
Are you confusing the Claw with the 909?

Ok that explains it.
The Claw doesn’t shoot under sized slugs well from my experience. Mine slugs out at .498 so I would rather shoot a little over size than under.

Mr. Hollowpoint recommends .499 for the Dragon Claw, I have a wing shot smooth bore that seems to be closer to .50, that I cast my own 310 gr from a Lee mold.

I got a 497, 4995, 501 and 502 sizer so hopefully I have that covered.
And can get a noe 498and a .500 if needed

Well the rain finally stopped ..6 days of rain.
Got the new Seneca Dragan Claw out with some .498 rd ball. Pc'ed they measured .500
Just using the open sights got a 1-1/2" 5 shot group at 50 yds
The trigger not worthy.. got to be 10 + lbs
Looks like I will be researching trigger jobs for this gun as shooting any more is fairly useless for accuracy work.
Not finding anything on Google search
Any pointers/ links to trigger jobs would be appreciated
