Aerolites

UPS just dropped off 4 packages of the new 250gr Aerolite Powerbelts and 4 packages of the 300gr Aerolites! Super excited to try these out tomorrow.

The new coating is super slick, the gas seal pops off a lot easier and smoother than they do on the Copper Series and Platinum series.

My brother and i already decided to fill up fresh sand buckets and put them to the test tomorrow.

about the same price as the platinum.

builder, I know you think there are people that don't care about it, but there are some people that may be interested on the test MD maybe running on them.

I am very interested in seeing the test results.if they truly are attempting to supply a bullet that can hold up with higher powder charges, kudos to them.personally i don't see how enlarging the hollow point and applying some whiz bang coating is going to accomplish that.i think we all know what needs to be done so a M/L bullet performs better terminally..and from what i have read about this Aerolite bullet, they missed the mark..never assume anything Corey! good day Ray!

I will be watching the test, with interest. I used to use the lead 295 Power Belts a few years ago and liked them.

Was very diappointed with the newer PBs.

http://www.oeoutfitters.com/scripts/...?idCategory=36 Here is one test that has been performed on the new PB Aerolite . i don't see much improvement over there old offerings. the bullet has no jacket of any kind. the real test will be to fire one of these bullets at 1800- 1900 fps at a target 20-50 yds away, which is where they have failed in the past. i am afraid this bullet will act very much like the old offerings, since there is no jacket plated or otherwise to keep it together.i am sure the longer bullet will "indeed" give it more accuracy.that is little consolation if it doesn't perform well at closer ranges.

Hey builder. FrontierGander and MountainDevil are the same guy. Kinda like Clark Kent and Superman.

If it is a plain lead bullet, I may give it a try. The other plated bullets have been the ones with issues.

If they are not too expensive, I will give them a try.
