That is a nice looking projectile - can not tell enough about it to see who's bullet it is, but the 275 grain weight be an interesting size... the sabot looks like a Harvester EZ load but not sure. Still a buck a bullet so to me it is to spendy Unless your shooting is 150+ ranges.

Wonder what the BC's are for those two - will that separate them form the SST/Shockwave family...???

I was thinking they look like a Shockwave knockoff of sorts. As to who makes them, well I am pretty sure it is not Remington. Although with the Remington name, I still refuse to pay over a $1.00 a bullet. Good luck to those that want to try them.

Don't they look a lot like the original XPT that TC had the one with the XTP with the air cavity, Plastic noseand the MMP12 ?

No mystery guys. These two bullets look awfully similar. The top link is Traditions, the bottom link is Remington.

Here's a link to the front page of Traditions. Notice the Remington Muzzleloading link? It's a subpage of the Traditions website.I think Remington instead of importing a gun are actually licencing their name to Traditions for Muzzleloaders. They may also be using their distribution network to sell them.

What's your best guess on who Traditions is contracting this bullet from? I really do not think it is a Hornady... Don't think it would even come from Europe...

My urge is to say Nosler but just a wild guess... The shape sure is interesting, but the price isn't....

Sorry, forgot to include that.

Same bullet, different tip color like the SST/Shockwaves.
