I saw it in Rifle Shooter and now in American Rifleman. I don't know what I'll ever use it for besides paper punching, but I showed the wife a picture of the actual size of the bullet and she thinks it's "cute". That opens the door to a purchase whenever it's released.

F4YG don't worry about the small things like Money. You would have allot more money to play with if it wasn't for these theiving Oil Companies.It sure is cutting into the good things in life.

I saw that in a magazine awhile back. It looks really cool. I think it would be good for squirrels or chipmunks. Anybody know if this would work for coyotes?

I am very fortunate and was able to attend the S.H.O.T. show this year and the new round was all the rage. I heard about it all over the place. The advantage is that it fits in a regular 22 action so just rebarrel your old 10-22 and go to town.
I talked to one of the hornady guys who promised a less explosive bullet in the future that wont blow a squirrel in half.
