Sounds like the HP gave great expansion and at 300 gr out of the Freedom, I know it was really moving. I bet a 370 gr FP would be perfect for boar. Great Company and Great Bullet. Congratulations Wild Man 😜

Nice going James. Should work pretty well at the more modest velocity of the .480. That 10 in FA should have been smoking them along pretty fast.

I had some of the same bullets loaded in 480 cases under IMR-4227 for my five shot Bisley but did not get the chance to use the iron sight gun.... However, running them that fast showed plenty... Called the owner of Fury and we discussed the performance. Everybody was happy....

To be honest, I don?t like the fact that it lost nearly a third of its weight on a doe and didn?t exit. James, did you specify a really thin jacket? They seem very soft. Those remind me of Hawk bullets. Just trying to look at this objectively.
Sorry, I?m a trained skeptic.

Thats what is nice about these bullets though. You can specify jacket thickness and i believe lead hardness as well. I am really thinking of getting a long nose heavier than 210 gr thick jacketed 41 bullet to push pretty hard. Cant wait. Cant wait to see what u cook up next james on these.

Skeptics..... What would the world be without them.. However Whit I can understand your skepticism and when I returned home I called Fury Bullets and discussed a few options for my next order so we can get the bullet to hold together a bit more the next I should shoot a whitetail....

That's sweet bullets you can tailor make to the hardness you want,Shoot something then call the maker and discuss the results and change what you don't like. If the accuracy holds up almost to good to be true.Well done James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mainstream bullet makers do some things that really hamstring some of the calibers. The 41 And 475/480 calibers are two of the main ones that have been neglected imho. Having a bullet maker that will listen to out insights and recommendations is like gold

It is great to see a manufacturer in contact with the end user of the product. Looks like there is a lot of potential there.

A little background on how this all came about... Francise sent me the website address after he ordered some 475 spitzers... After looking over the Fury site I figured a .475 cal. bonded 300gr JHP scootin along at a good clip would be just the ticket for whitetail (plus drop the midrange when compared to a 400 grain). With no reload info for the 300 I used the max load for a 325.. All NEW ground for me..... Now if I had only shot my doe with the 2" exit hole the test would have had a good ending, however, I helped take a wounded deer on the run with the bullet hitting the top of the back leg broadside.... It dropped the deer along with tremendous meat damage... Would I normally shoot a deer in the back leg?? No... Even though it lost 90+grs in weight, the bullet held together and did what it was suppose to... After looking at the recovered bullet, it was no stretch to realize that a stouter bullet would be needed to run at those velocities or, I could just lower the speed of the bonded 300.... I get excited when I hear of a new hunting handgun bullet and in this case I ordered them...took the time to do some research and handload them... take some more time at the range and check their accuracy.... and finally put one through a deer`s vitals to check performance to ultimately pass this information on to you the members.... Something I`ve tried to do since I first became a member..... My thoughts on a cold December day..

As limited as our bullets are that we have to use in Handgun hunting, Fury Bullets are a much needed option. Even in single shots, bullets that operate as advertised in the slower short barreled velocities are kinda limited. Just food for thought
