The name Hydra-Con is short for hydraulic conical. These
are bullets that have an internal sealed hydraulic chamber
(patented process) that produces devastating expansion
and energy transfer.
1.
Hydraulic
fluid is a USDA approved food grade.
2.
The
Hydra-Con is available in 45 caliber thru 54 caliber
Sabot and 45 caliber - 58 caliber Bore size. Some
"Sharps" bullets are available.
How
is the Traditional Hunter different from the Hydra-Con?
The
Traditional Hunter is the same "bullet body"
as the Hydra-Con. It has a deep hollow cavity that accepts
the hydraulic application. It shoots the same as the
Hydra-Con and is a fine bullet in its own right. However,
it does not open as readily as the Hydra-Con.

What
kind of bullet lube do you recommend for "bore-size
bullets"?
Our
personal preference is SPG black powder cartridge lubricant.
NOTE:
Many are shooting the bore size dry! They are moly coated
and we are getting many shooters who say they do not lube.
I have not personally tested this.

without lubing, the projectile will shoot well;
however, the fouling may harden causing loading
difficulty.

What

The
moly wad is a moly impregnated felt disk used with bore
size bullets. It goes over the powder and under the bullet.
Purpose:
1.
Better
seal.
2.
Means
to compress powder without damaging bullet noise.
