Never heard of them until now. They sound like a great advantage over old conicals or powerbelts in states that don't allow sabots. However, I have the option, so I think I'll stick to a sabot in my inlines, and a conical in my sidelock for the fun/challenge.

They have been around for a few years. I have no plans on trying them. I chuckle every time someone posts this link. They look ridiculous! I would be embarrased to show/recommend something like that to any experienced ML user.

They have to carry the worst B.C. of any poly-tip bullet in the history of mankind. On top of that, you can only expect as low as 50% expansion at any given time -- plusthe reason they come unlubed is not to make a mess of that handsome, foam-linedcarrying case.

Ha-Ha... Hee-Hee.... Hoo-Hoo
No Thanks!

the look like a Lyman maxiball drilled out with a poly tip shoved into them. Personally I will stick to the maxiball made of soft lead. They mushroom just fine.

Great point 777; I now see their foam lined case I took a look at their ballistics page--not as good as my primary glance thought...they compare their little 275 grain bullet to a 450! How fair is that! [:'(]I change my mind...maybe better than plain conicals, but I'd stick with a powerbelt if I had to use a non-sabot and wanted performance

I predict the new Platinum Powerbelt will put these folks out of business.

Personally, I like my slow moving 410 gr. conicals.
