Default Thor bullets

Anyone tried these yet or know of anyone who has? I am about to give them a try. The 250 grain (minus the plastic tip) is Colorado legal and shooting a barnes bullet conical would seem to be a good combo. My son will be mule deer hunting this fall and want to see how they shoot.

I forgot all about those. Make sure to post your results. I'm interested in them as well.

I went to their website today. Thats bullet sure looks like it has potential. I wonder how easily the cup would bend if it was hit. Also I wonder how many bullets you get for the 22 bucks you spend.

For me they would have to go some to beat the FPB hornady 350 gr.
This target was shot with the FPB with 90 gr BH at 100yds to help break in my new Endeavor Encore, I really did not expect them to group like this till the barrel was broken in.

Huh... I hadn't seen these before. So are they a Barnes bullet or do they just use the Barnes technology? I don't see them listed on Barnes' website.

Thanks! I Googled it right after I posted. There doesn't appear to be a way to purchase them on their website. I guess I'll give them a call and see what's what.

Yeah, those FPB's are good but they might not fit all bore diameters. I think it's great that Thor Bullets will send out different sizes so the shooter can decide what fits best.
