Wow! very interesting - wonder about price next...

RE: hornady FTX
 

I know the loaded rounds are around $30+ for 20

430 to 500 are in 50 ct. my guess (going with todays prices) $30 to $40. it is they're top of the line at this point.

Ill have to stop in the local gun shop and see if they got any pricelists for 2009 products. I hate buying the sst's and never using the supplied sabots. Right now the flextip sst's are selling around me for $14.00 for 20, so thats about .70 each with sabot. I would hope they would sell for less than that in a box of 50 bullets only.

Corey would you post this over on MM, I think Chuck and some of the people that have experiance with this bullet might have some comments. I can not because I do not use them - have not even shot one... But I think I read there was a perceivable difference between these soft tip and the old hard tip.....

RE: hornady FTX
 

I saw this on another site, thought I let people know that they are coming in bulk. more targeted for reloaders.

Here is a pic of what Corey is talking about.... The BC's even do not look over inflated either...

RE: hornady FTX
 

That 44 cal. 265 gr bullet looks like a winner. I can't wait to give ittry.

RE: hornady FTX
 

.358 200gr... looks like a candidate for a duplex sabot like the .357 195gr DC.

Did they give any recommended expansion velocities?

RE: hornady FTX
 

I'd like to know the recommended velocities for expansion too. That .358 200 grainer looks awful tempting to try out with a MMP .45/.357 sabot in my .45. My only concern would be that I wouldn't be pushing the bullet fast enough for good expansion, especially on longer shots since I don't shoot more than 100 grains loose powder.
