I am all set for this fall, but may try these out for next year

I have been waiting for these since the NRA convention. Just ordered 2 packs so I will post a review as soon as I can test them. Can't wait.

They must not have had many. They're already out of them.

I guess I got lucky, I got a notice that my order shipped, and is expected to be delivered Monday. Can you say range trip Tuesday?:s2:

Give us a report when you get it done.

Yep, if you want some, you will have to get on their email notification system. They were available when I posted the link this morning, but are now on backorder.

Carlos has them ordered. I'll wait for that. Although I got the Barnes T-EZ today, and they fit perfect, so I just might stay with those, and kiss off the muzzy season. I'll just hunt the rifle seasons, and then I won't get hassled over using a scope.

interesting looking for sure. i'm curious if the expand as planned consistently

Gm54-120 10-24-2014 10:05 PM

Since they are not pure copper dont expect them to expand as easily as Barnes

Muley Hunter 10-25-2014 06:14 AM

They don't expand like a Barnes. The Barnes will expand down to 1200fps.

The Federal bullets were tested on Jon'r forum. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but at normal 100-150yds they expanded fine. At 250yds they didn't expand at all. I believe the load was 110gr of BH 209.

However, this was the first run of the bullets. Something might have changed in the construction since then. They did have a delay in production, so who knows if they changed something?
