Well I found a bit of info about these bullets from this forum so I figured I post how they worked for me. I originally was in need of a lead free option for varmint hunting mostly for foxes. After having some bad results from solid copper rounds I gave these a try and have been extremely impressed. I shoot them out of a Tikka 243 win with a 22 factory barrel at 3750fps with an average group of around .6 at 100 yards. Most of the foxes are close range 100 yards and under but I also use it for coyotes and have killed a few in excess for 300 yards. All kills are bang flops so far. On coyotes there hasn’t been an exit and are very fur friendly. Foxes get torn up a bit at times so I’ll probably back the load down a bit this coming year to see if it’s more fur friendly. Any how it’s a great option if u are forced to use lead free. I don’t know if I would buy them if there wasn’t that restriction. I think V max’s are extremely hard to beat.
