Dang, those look good. I could not find the meplat on the 45-200 on their website, but the bullet you show on the right looks like it? If so, then do you know whether the 45-200 has the 67% ?
When work picks up in the spring, and the snow heads south for the winter, it looks like I will have some testing to do my with new Glock 41 MOS.
Please do keep us posted on these.

Dang, if that will fly true to 100 yards I will be quite interested.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Those look like they'd put down just about anything you could expect to encounter. It's always nice to see a bullet manufacturer making new bullets designed for us handgun hunters.

I will tell ya their customer service is top notch. Earlier in the year i order bullets for africa. The box showed up busted open and i was missing 2 boxes and called. I had the 2 boxes of bullets in less than 48hrs. This year i bought six boxes of bullets at the sci show. I bought em on friday afternoon and got em to my door monday.

Nice looking projectile, can't wait for some reports on how it does in the field.
What cartridge did you intend using it in? A few years back I asked Barnes about bullets for the .454 Casull and they advised that their 250 gr XPB was the maximum for that cartridge due to the amount of space taken by copper verses lead projectiles.

The solid is the same basic length as the barnes from base to crimp groove but solid and a different profile than the barnes. The barnes is an excellent bullet that performs way beyond its weight would indicate. I killed an asiatic water buffalo with one and also did a penetration test with a 80% load on a cape buff with one thru the shoulders after it was down and it reached the far side of the shoulde rneat. Not bad for expansion to .8" and only running 1740 fps

Those look like REAL HAMMERS! Wonder how well and how far they will stabilize...
Obviously their BC's will be terrible but for short range, they should hit like a freight train!
