PTS
In mid March 2002 Ralph Lermayer,
the guru of blackpowder writers and one of the very few writers who tests
everything before he writes about it, was doing an article for Outdoor Life
on .45 caliber muzzleloaders. Ralph called me to report that every weight
of PTS outshone all the competition. He said
"you should rename those shootin' sons-of-bitches "Dead Center"
because that's exactly where they always shoot." Having an open mind,
I decided to take his advice and adopt the newly coined name.

Outstanding Trajectory
The smooth ogive to bearing
of the bullet increases the Ballistic Coefficient which in turn decreases
bullet drop. Flatter trajectory makes it easier to make the extended range
shots.

Huge Downrange Energy
Muzzleloaders are limited in velocity by the physics of the gun and the limitations
of the components. The only place left to increase performance is through
bullet design. Higher Ballistic Coefficient equals higher downrange velocities
which means higher downrange energy.
Deep Penetration
We recognize that many hunters hunt in times and areas where there is no snow
to assist in trailing. To that end, we have designed the Dead
Center™
for shoot-thru performance. We have changed the polymer tip and the cavity
behind the polymer tip so the bullet dissipates most of it's energy while
still gaining complete penetration. One entire year of testing, re-testing
and development have resulted in a bullet that performs inside the cavity
as well as penetration through the animal. The result; greater blood trails
for easier game recovery.
Easy Loading
The
long ogive combined with the boat-tail base make for a very easy loading bullet.
Sabot dimensions have been reworked for optimum results with our Dead
Center™
bullets. No need for short starters or tool steel ramrods as these bullets
fit the sabots and the sabots fit your barrel.
Outstanding Accuracy
In 2001
our QT
bullets won the World
Championships. I believe our Dead
Center™
bullets shoot even better. Everything we learned from
the QT
we carried over in the design of the
Dead
Center™.
Everything we learned from making over a million QT
has been incorporated into the Dead
Center™.
