oops dont have the pics ready yet lol....

Just some assorted pics. The Thor basically works just like the minie ball in the 1860's with a hollowed out skirt. Solid copper so you can drive it as basically any speeds you can get it up to and it wont fragment.

they seem to be well worth a try. do you have any recovered from an animal?

Got out to 100 yards today. 100gr Blackhorn209 is the deal.

90gr gave me a 3 1/2" groups - 110gr gave me a 2" group.

My third shot is the highest in the picture, the barrel was really warm to the touch and i believe thats what caused it to walk up. Need more primers again. Damn things never last long.




So far everything looks good. If i get to hunt this year, i will use this set up.

so do you have any recoverd thor bullets? recoverd from an amimal.

safe to say the answer is, yea?

how long a shot?

thats was a 250? hummmmm.

how do they stand up to the higher pressures of the savage shooting smokeless? do they load dry? are they hard to get down the barrel?. the biggest issue with the savage is the plastic residue left in the barrel. it makes it hard to ram the next one home.

the owner of thor bullets shoot them in his savage smokeless with great results. i'd email him for load info.

They can be hard to load if you have a tight bore. I know the .500" is to big for the older model cva's like my Hunterbolt. It dont even fit into the crown.

In my Accura i can push them down the bore snug with my thumb. Hurts like a SOB with the ballistic tip on so i only try that with the hollow points LOL. No lube needed.

That shot was 175 yards with the ballistic tip thor. I am going to test the new 300's in water/ wet sand later on and see how they do with 120gr blackhorn209. Thats gonna hurt!

Thor is working on the Gen II Black Thor thats a one size fits most type of deal.
