Anyone used these, or even know where they can be bought from? Wouldn't mind trying a few in my .223 or .243

Haven't seen any around yet mate, but I will definately trying some of the 63gr bullets in my .240 Wby Mag. I reckon that would be the ultimate splatter factor.

Interesting.

36gr is a bit lightweight for my tastes in .22, I normally go 50gr in a .223. I also notice the BC is .149. The 40gr Nosler ballistic tip manages .221.

Have you watched the video frame by frame? Clip #1 looks like the bullet exits intact. Probably my imagination, but have at look and let me know what you think. Not that it would be surprising, given the target is a grape....!

Yeah, my usual round is a 55gr VMAX in my .223, and either a 58gr VMAX or 70gr Berger MEF in the .243 so I'm just keen to try a box of each and see what they're capable of...

For those of you near Perth, Beaton Firearms will be getting some of these in the next two weeks, hopefully!

READ THIS THREAD BEFORE DROPPING ANY MONEY ON THESE BULLETS. Not too reassuring, is it???

Doesn't look good mate. Maybe I will let someone else try them!! Perfectly happy with vMax and B/Tips. Even the good old TNT's & BK's sound better.

Thanks for that - never got the call back from the shop to say they were in, but don't think I'll be bothering now anyway!

sounds like they were breaking apart before penatrating deeply enough

Sounds like the Ballistic Tips and vMax's are still the ones after reading that report on gopher shooting.
