nope, but if you shoot some be sure to make a report on them. They look like a nice bullet if they are accurate.

Those are an interesting bullet all copper designed with a hollow base made in different size to fit the bores on TC,Knight and CVA. The only real problem I found with them is the fact that I wont pay a dollar and 60 cents a bullet . Lee

I would try them if they were Colorado legal. Only the 250 grain 50 caliber would be legal if you remove the tip. The 300 is too long even with the tip removed. Should be OK for a deer, but too light for elk in my book.

With the price they are paying for copper scrap in the yards, I can sure understand the reason for their cost. But I have to agree, that's a lot of money for bullets.

I have a friend that collects junk you might say. Old wire, etc.. and he strips the copper out of them (also where I get my free old lead water pipes). He makes a pretty good chunk of change for just being a scrounger (as we call them).

I'm sure I won't be buying any based on the price point. I just saw them in a magazine, so I thought I'd ask if you guys had used them. I'll most likely stick to XTPs and Shockwaves.... maybe try the Gold Dots.

I use the Thor 300 grn and I like it, I use 2 T7 pellets and the .500dia. and get 2. inch groups at 150 yrds with my Apex. Easy to load and no problem with bottom bending, just bend it back if needed. It is the only bullet I use now.
