Default "Sabertooth" by Harvester Bullets??

Any of you guys have any experience with this brand bullet? I was kicking around Gander Mt. yesterday not really intending to buy anything..........$105 later, LOL.

Anyway, The 300gr designcaught my eye as a possible contended for replacing my usual 295gr Powerbelt hollowpoints that my T/C "Pa Hunter" flintlock likes so much.
They're within 5grs total weight of them, similar style gas check (although not locked on like a Powebelt, more like a short sabot over the belt of the bullet.
They look like a nasty bullet and by design seem like they should be great for the more modest velocities that my flinter puts out with a 100gr charge.

And if all goes well and they aren't copper plated turds........they're $9.99 a pack for 15. Almost 1/2 the price of regular Powerbelts at $18.99 for 15 of the 295gr Hollowpoints.

I'll drag the camera (and maybe the chronograph) along and document the range session. Hopefully it isn't a case of you get what you pay for, but for $10 a pack I had to grab 2 just for giggles and some range time. (At worst I can load them as "finishers" in a couple loose speedloaders)
