These were "New Manufactured line" in New Star-Line brass, not the re-manufacture line with used brass....

  I always wanted to get some and try them. They never had stock to make it happen though  ???

It looks like the load is lighter than their FMJ's I tested  :o

These were older, more like what David did his video on a while back.  I load my 40S&W's at that level. ::)
