The three bullets I have narrowed down to I really want to shoot are the Barnes tmz 290 grains the thors and Hornady fpbs in the 300 grains out of those which would you guys shoot. I decided on the gun a cva accura v2 long range. You can find a lot more bullet options around when in the stores and the 50 is a do it all gun.

What is the point using the rubbers to cover the bore?

The Federal Bore Lok isn't getting the best of reviews around the muzzleloading world. There were many bullet failures last fall.
Want a bullet that performs 100% of the time...... BARNES

To keep rain/moisture and debris out of your muzzle when carrying it in the field. A lot of guys just use tape or balloons or even rubbers.

I know that is what they are for. But what is the guy in the video using them for? It is sunny and dry.

Most likely just practicing by doing everything the same as he intends to do when hunting.
Not a bad plan.

Thats called a Bore Cot. Its basically a rubber balloon that slips over your muzzle to keep the foul weather out. I find that they change the bullets point of impact greatly at 150 and 200 yards. 75-100 isnt much change, but it shows. Notice how the 2 shots when I used them, impacted to the right and the shots to the left were without the bore cots.
As for bullet failures, I've yet to see an actual person on a forum use them on a hunt and report back.
They basically are a barnes. They are 100% copper and are in fact a good deal thinner where the petals peel back.
I've only shot 2 packages of them with a variety of powders, so I can not add a whole lot to how they perform at longer ranges or on animals.
