This looks like a new one that isn't in stock anywhere.

That's pretty impressive, I have a advertisement in a February 2014 Combat Handgun magazine , do you think you'll do a review on them anytime soon ? It would really interesting to see how they chrono,

These might make a nice varmint round.

I would like to see how they perform on a chrono and in gel.

The only way i see these as being viable are in very close quarters, up close and personal. The reason I say this is they will dump their energy very fast and distance will not be friendly to accuracy or ballistic potential. ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$

That's what I was thinking, a 60 grain 40 caliber bullet has the BC of a brick. It probably loses half it's energy after 10 yards. This is the same reason I gave up on the idea of 1500 fps wadcutters in .357. It sounds good in theory but in reality not so much.

Got a box to see.

Interesting concept... I have to imagine that the energy as a wounding mechanism should be pretty substantial but I'm curious to see how shallow the penetration is. Hitting like a ton of bricks is only so effective if all of it is depleted in the first three or four inches. Has Raggedyman tested these for penetration yet (or are there plans to do so)?

Not yet, but sending them over.

Sweet. I'm looking forward to this one!

Interesting rounds...but oh so light! ${$default_huh_smiley}$

I wonder what barrel length for the 2400 FPS rating? I might see 2600 FPS out of the 6".

We will have to see when you get some breaks in weather... ${$default_cool_smiley}$
